Talking about one\u2019s character has been very interesting. Human is not perfect who doesn\u2019t have flaws. Human\u2019s character is different from each other and it can be shaped because of the environment, circumstances or habits. But, I believe, every character in a person can grow better if that person has awareness to change; from negative characters to become not only positive characters but righteous characters that can grow and become fruitful in the Truth.<\/p>\n
A friend made a comment on my social networking status. I wrote \u201cMaximize grace and continue growing in character.\u201d After a while, there was a comment \u201cGrace without character is nothing; the greatness of a person without humbleness in his life will become a boomerang.\u201d I agree with his comment. Sometimes, we think that our talents are so great and our gifts are so many that we become arrogant. Oftentimes, arrogance and overconfidence make us feel like we are better than everyone else, and it can weaken the foundation of our lives. Let\u2019s be cautious about this. Humility is the key, but learning to be humble is not easy.<\/p>\n
How about charisma? Isn\u2019t it important? For me, we don\u2019t need to put much effort in building and making ourselves to be seen charismatic because shaping charisma with our own effort is useless. We don\u2019t create charisma. Charisma is a bonus or a fruit from what we do. When our characters grow, the grace turns into blessing, and people will see the fruits in us.<\/p>\n
Nobody is able to change our characters instantly like magic without God\u2019s interference and our own will. God\u2019s way seems to be slow, long, and painful. But through His way, there is something great that He wants to work on in our life. With His timing, we will understand how great our God is. With grace and the touch of His hand everything will be worth it.<\/p>\n
Our relationship with God will bring impact and produce a fruit to the grace within us and to the ministry we do. Our ministry and grace don\u2019t guarantee how close we are with God and how we can grow our characters. It is the relationship with God that makes us grow and make everything we do be worth it. Let\u2019s remain close to the great, strong, powerful Personality. Maximize God\u2019s grace and continue building and growing our characters with Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
