Do to others as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31 – (NIV)

Character is it inherited? Or is it molded by life? We can only build our character daily by the way we think and conduct our behavior, thought by thought, action by action.
We are all a work in progress and can miss the mark at any given moment. We are human. But there is always room for improvement no matter what stage of life we are presently in... However, in order to improve we need to identify the character traits we want to emulate.
So, I decided to use Jesus as my role model. here are a few descriptive words I have put together to describe our perfect Savior.
Loving, Joyful, Peaceful, Peacemaker, Courageous, Merciful, Kind, Resilient, Perceptive, Forgiving, Faithful, Humble, Generous, Self-controlled, Passionate, Perseverant, Godly, Integrity, Prayerful, Truthful, Sacrificial, Righteous, Hopeful, Fully alive, Thankful, Diligent, Intimate, Friendly, Servant minded, Self-aware, Confident, Loyal, Courageous, Powerful, Meek, Patient, Flexible, Unafraid, Valuable, Self-protective, Inspiring, Spirit-filled, Calm, Nurturing, Healed, Healthy, Discerning...
I am sure this list only scratches the surface. However, as I constructed my list my thoughts went here ... Wow, He truly is perfect!!! I can only pray that I take each word into my heart and try each day to make them a way of life. I know It’s impossible to fill his shoes but if we follow in His footsteps it can only improve our own character thought by thought, action by action. one year, one month, one week, one day at a time...
Join me in my quest ... Let His light shine through our imperfections as we hone in on building our own character. You may even be amazed that the changes in you will unfold a beautiful life that has just been waiting to bloom.
He still WOWs me.
“Do what I teach you to do. Listen to my message and learn from me what is true. I am very kind, and I do not make myself important. I will help you. Then you will have peace in your mind. I will not tell you to do things that are too difficult. I will not tell you to carry anything that is too heavy for you." Matthew 11:29-30 ️
