SABRINA
The word character comes from a Greek term describing an engraving tool. Our character, like that of an engraving tool is etched as a set of distinctive marks, drawing a picture of who we really are. Everyone has character...whether good, bad, sturdy or shady. Have you ever seen river rocks, shaped by water and wind? No single wave, or burst of wind shaped the rock. It was a repeated force. So it is with us. Everything we do, every thought, choice - good or bad, is a wave with ripple effects.
It is never easy to see the immediate effect. It is in the consequence that follows. It forms the core of our character. With every decision a groove is cut. Our reaction in every crisis, cruelty temptation, cuts a pattern in our character. It is in those moments of decision your destiny is shaped.
How is your character? If it needs some carving out, help is only a prayer away. God can change what we never could on our own. We only have to ask.
