In his latest message, "I Won't Complain. My Character Is Everything!", Pastor Alan Young reminded us that no matter what life throws our way, our character is what truly matters. Drawing on scripture from Genesis 37:36 and Genesis 39:1-6, Pastor Young encouraged us to focus on developing our character, even in the face of adversity.
It's easy to get discouraged when we feel like we're being picked on or talked about. We may feel like we're the victim of circumstances beyond our control. But as Pastor Young pointed out, we always have a choice in how we respond. We can choose to let our circumstances define us, or we can choose to rise above them and focus on developing our character.
In the story of Joseph, we see a perfect example of someone who chose to focus on his character, even when faced with incredible hardship. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, Joseph could have easily given up hope. But instead, he chose to remain faithful to God and to develop his character through hard work and dedication.
As we navigate our own challenges and struggles, we can follow Joseph's example by focusing on our character. Here are a few tips to help you develop a strong, resilient character:
Be honest. Integrity is at the core of a strong character. Make a commitment to always tell the truth, even when it's difficult.
Be kind. Showing kindness to others, even when they don't deserve it, is a powerful way to develop your character.
Be persistent. Don't give up when things get tough. Instead, keep pushing forward and trust that God has a plan for your life.
Remember, you may be picked on and talked about, but your character is what can get you out. Focus on developing a strong, resilient character, and you'll be able to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
In conclusion, let us keep in mind that our character is everything. No matter what challenges we face, we have the power to choose how we respond. By focusing on developing a strong, resilient character, we can rise above our circumstances and become the people God has called us to be.
