Godly Character

What we're made of.

Most of us live life into our 30s before ever thinking about character. It’s only when we become parents or when we begin to face really tough decisions that we come face-to-face with “what we’re made of.”

Granted, no one’s perfect. But everybody is accountable to God for the decisions they make and the way they live their lives. When life’s pressures multiply, what comes out of us is only a manifestation of what’s inside of us.

God gave us thoughts and emotions to experience life, not destroy it!  Handling our emotions can be a huge issue for women.  To understand the root and the destructive power of guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy are important in order to walk in the Spirit and not according to our emotions.  In addition, we’ve seen how even mature Christians can destroy their lives if they do not have Godly character.

If we have Godly character and reflect the person of Jesus Christ, we’ll positively influence every environment and relationship we’re in.  Though the power for godly character and emotions comes from Jesus Christ, the responsibility for developing and displaying that godly character and emotions is ours.
