Definition of Character

I’m not going to attempt to give a full definition of Character, but narrow it down to three specific motifs. 

1. Character is the the inner part or “the core” of a person. 
2. Character is the the “habits of the heart” or the “consistency of a persons everyday talk and actions.  A random act or single statement would not be an accurate assessment of true character.”
3. Character is also revealed in the crucible of testing—otherwise known as the “cost”.

Character can be an immense challenge both personally as well as culturally. While there are scandalous headlines and Christian leaders falling before us, in all honesty, humility would respond with a good look in the mirror.  Without condemnation, let’s begin with looking deep within ourselves and asking God to illuminate areas so that God can change our hearts.  Only then, can true change come.  When our hearts are yielded to God, we then can begin to change the way that we walk.
