Person of Character

When hearing the term character we are able to think about it in at least two ways; the first is someone is such a “character”…fun to be with and everyone enjoys his or her personality while the other is he or she is such a person of character. As we live our lives it is fun to be the “character” once in a while; to laugh, joke and giggle about silly behaviors and making wonderful memories. God does not want us going around somber and serious all the time, but He does require us to always be a person of character. What a gift we give our Lord when we begin to imitate and model our attitudes and behaviors after God. We have the joy of speaking in kindness, understanding and love all the while having ethics and morals. With the beginning of the Advent Season let us give our Lord the gift of becoming a person of character that truly does the right thing even when others or society say it is OK to do what you want. Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will. I pray we continue to build our strength, to encourage others, and to grow in wisdom through Bible studies, prayers and Christian fellowship. Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
