Character!

Have you ever stopped to think about your character before? Abraham Lincoln said, “Character is the tree; reputation is the shadow.” That is so true. If we have good character then others will see it. Our prayer should be to ask the Lord to give us “good character.”

If you are a person who has good character, then you have nothing in life to hide. Christians should be people of integrity. Integrity is being wholesome and truthful and transparent. We have nothing to hide if we are a people of integrity. 

My integrity means something to me personally. It is something that nobody else can rob from us or take away from us. If you lose your integrity it is because you made a choice to give it up.

Today, we live in a world that is full of people who lie, cheat, deceive to get on top, perhaps in the business world and many other areas as people try to get ahead in this world. There is certainly a crisis in every facet of life today when it comes to character and integrity.

Do you desire to be a person of integrity? Well, the Bible says, # 1.You must know the Lord; #2: You must fear Him; #3 You must live for Him. In this day of integrity crisis, we need to remember that integrity really does count.

Proverbs 19:1 (KJV 1900) ¹ Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
