"But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge" -- 2 Peter 1:5 / New King James Version
Character is built slowly over a lifetime. It is the sum of every right decision, every honest word, every noble thought, and every heartfelt prayer. It is forged on the anvil of honorable work and published by the twin virtues of generosity and humility. Character is a precious thing - difficult to build but easy to tear down. As believers in Christ, we must seek to live each day with discipline, honesty and faith. When we do, integrity becomes a habit. And God smiles.

"God cannot build character without our cooperation. If we resist Him, then He chastens us into submission. But, if we submit to Him, then He can accomplish His work. He is not satisfied with a halfway job. God wants a perfect work; He wants a finished product that is mature and complete"
-- Warren Wiersbe

Lord, Your Word instructs us to walk in righteousness and in truth. Make us Your worthy servant, Lord. Let our words be true, and let our actions lead others to You.
