Character

Good character is...

• the throne of greatness
• the foundation for true success
• the strength to overcome every adversity
• the credentials for building nobility into others
• the abode for all virtue
• the light that guides our way through darkness
• the fuel that propels us towards our destiny...and...

• the true beauty of our soul
Vivien Hibbert

Romans 5:3-5 
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
