The Force Of Character

Character is the very fiber that makes up our being. It is the inherent complex of attributes that determines a person’s moral and ethical actions and reactions. It is the underlying foundation that under-girds the way we think, the way we talk, the way we interact, the way we treat ourselves and others, and the very way we give and live.

A person’s character is developed in the dark, and is always revealed in the light.

Just by flicking through the newspaper or listening or watching the media we continue to have presented to us case after case of lives that were convinced that the questionable character that was developed in the dark, sometimes years, sometimes decades ago, will always remain concealed in the dark. But alas, history reveals otherwise. Darkness, and the habits or actions committed there, have a way of being exposed.

That is why we all need to make a concerted effort to keep our morals and ethics in check. Not just for the purpose of never being found out, but rather to live a life that will grow stronger through all weathers.

But please understand that none of us can claim perfection, and there is not one of us who is faultless.

But a character that is moral and ethical emits a powerful force that brings great blessing not only to their lives, but to the lives of their family, their friends, and their associates – thus creating a much better world for us all to live in – and it doesn’t end just there – and on to the generations that follow.

Listen to the conscience that God has placed in your life for your safekeeping, and live in the dark as you live in the light. That way your life will be nothing but a delight.
