I expect that you aware that the LORD has justified you off all sin, and that in HIS eyes you are cleansed perfectly. Your repute in the mind of the LORD is the most important repute Robert.
I pray that you and I do our best to improve the reputation of each person we interact with including family, friends, coworkers and neighbors, my brother-in-Christ Maj Robert Thornton.
Thank YOU, dear God for YOUR written Word filled with truth. Thank YOU for wisdom dear God. YOU revealed to us that we demonstrate our love to YOU by how we love our neighbors.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children are blessed with humility, compassion and faithfulness. I pray that we each are respectful to each person we interact. I pray that we each speak and write honorably about individuals who are elected, appointed, entertainers, performers, artists, tradespeople, professionals and those who serve us.
I lift the ill, injured and wounded as well as those people who care for, treat and minister to them to YOU. I pray that YOU motivate each one to be more compassionate and kinder to each other. I pray for an increase in patience for the caregivers to those veterans with inoperable cancers and other inoperable diseases as well as those with PTSD and/or TBI.
I lift the widows, widowers, divorcees and those devoid of friendship to YOU. I pray that reveal to prayers warriors to intercede for and pray for each of these people. I pray that YOU motivate neighbors of the widows, widowers and divorcees to check on these people regularly and give them an increase in listening skills and patience.
I pray for an increase of respect for the constituents of each Congressional Representative, Senator, state legislators, governors and mayors. I pray each elected official and their staff members who interact with constituents are listening carefully to their constituents.
I pray an increase of selfless love throughout the civilized world as well as the uncivilized nations.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Wednesday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from North Carolina. Ezekiel Chapter 18 discusses the deeds of a righteous man and the deeds of an unrighteous man. Then it elaborates on how the child is not subject to those sins, if he turns from those offenses committed by his father. As the chapter comes to a close, it poses the thought, if a righteous man in all his righteous turns and does unrighteous he dies in his unrighteousness. I think it is wise to purpose to make everyday a "Reputation Day" so that there is a constant reminder that if "I should die in this day", this is the state of my reputation. COL Mikel J. Burroughs and RalkyPoint have a wonderful mid-week Wednesday.

MAJ Matthew Arnold
As a follow up to your post, because "the Lord has justified you of all sin", my favorite quote from the top is, “Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.” — Thomas Paine. This because I have suffered from self inflicted wounds and hope that all my friends will not judge me from my moments stupidity but from my life of loving service.

Please call me Matt. (Major was a title from a long time ago and even then my closest working buddies were on a first name basis, regardless of rank. Aviators, what can you do with them?)

Good morning Mikel and my friends on RallyPoint! I have to go with Ben Franklin this morning. It does take a long time to garner a good reputation. In one bad deed you can lose it. In our current climate, one false accusation can destroy one's reputation. Sadly, once lost, it is hard to get back
