Build It Piece by Piece

“Every single one of us will face the temptation to compromise our character along our path to change the world. There will be an opportunity for you to cut corners, make a shady deal, or dance around in some gray areas. You’ll have an opportunity to cross a line, and nobody will know. Or will they? You’ll face a crossroads with two choices. The first will take you where you think you want to go more quickly and easily. The second will eventually get you where you want to go, but it will probably be a harder and longer journey. If you want to change the world, you need to build a solid foundation. Your character takes a long time to build and a short time to lose.” (Greg Darley, Passion Is Not Enough) 

 

John Luther put it this way "Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece—by thought, choice, courage and determination." Our character takes constant grooming to become the very person God has created us to be. Have you asked God recently what He wants your life to look like? He's not here to condemn you but to love you to the very best you can possibly become through Him!
