Kindness and Truth

Proverbs 3:3-4: “Let love and faithfulness never leave you, bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”

Another translation says “kindness and truth” for “love and faithfulness.” Love (kindness) and faithfulness (truth) are the cornerstones of any people-centered business such as ours. When we approach people with those qualities, we are always successful, no matter what the outcome of the approach.

It can be a temptation to stretch the truth if we think that will make others be more impressed with us or our business. Ours is such a business, however, where the truth is good enough. We don’t need to exaggerate or make claims about the products or the income opportunity.

If we conduct our businesses with kindness and truth, we have favor and a good name with our Creator and Savior and those we meet. Who then can be against us?
