Character

“It takes a grinding wheel to sharpen a blade, and so one person sharpens the character of another.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Character is not a given, it is formed in the furnace of life experiences and relationships. It is how we react to life’s problems that creates habits and habits are the stones on which character is formed.

Character speaks to the submission and obedience to the hand of God. Rather than reacting and rebelling good character submits.

I live with two young Nepali women who are sisters. The elder tends to come across as a bossy boots type of personality. I have been that person, I am no longer that person. However, not reacring to a bossy person still challenges me. Gratfully, the woman is learning not to boss with her speaking, we are both working things out. Praise God!
