Constant Character Development

I realized today how true it is that the conforming of my character is less an event and more of a constant conforming. Every minute of every day is an oppurtunity for me to grow and learn and master sin before it masters me. My conversations are a key indicator as to how well my character is conforming. Is my conversation grace filled and God centered or full of complaining and frustrations? The answer shows where I am at today in submitting to God and becoming the person I need to be to handle the rewards and responsibilities He has for me.

Preparation

What is taking place today is somehow preparing me for tomorrow. The bible says if we are faithful with little its a sign that we can be faithful with more. We spend so much time wanting more but so very little time being faithful where we are at. You may not be everyone's first choice for a lot of things, and thats ok. You just need to be faithful with the things God has called you to do. Satan always wants us to bypass suffering,obedience, and the cross,and he will promise us the world if we do. So what is the consequence if we accept Satan's offer? We never grow into the person God wants us to be. We fail to become christ like. So whatever your cross, pick it up and follow Jesus.
