"It is character that makes a man of God, not the anionting."
-John Bevere-
Man looks at the outward,
BUT God chooses to look where no else could- the heart.
While man runs after the hands of God; seeking only for what God can do for them,
God looks at how close we've ran after His heart.
At end of the day, its not how much work we've done. It's how much of the work was actually done with Him, according to what He wanted and how it were to be done.
Character sustains you at the place where your talent and gifts would bring you.
That's what God is concerned with-our character development.
Sometimes its painful and He knows it, but to God, leaving us unchanged has a much greater pain.
The purpose of the furnace is to purify and to remove every flith, not to kill us.
Only the pure at heart shall see God!
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Cultivate them in your life!
