It’s Not About Character as It’s About Spirituality

The character of the Month Series

“You only have one problem, being spiritual; and, you do not have any problems, if you are spiritual,” I am committed to this principle in my life.

I, of course, believe in shaping one’s character and helping others to be better people. But, I also know, if one is truly spiritual to the point of being like Jesus (being spiritual enough to do what Jesus wants us to do) that ‘positive character qualities’ would be taken care of.

Indeed, it is easier to shape one’s character traits rather than one’s spiritual qualities. You can fool yourself into being a good and ethical person but one cannot fool God. God sees not only the outward qualities of one’s character behavior but one’s motives, heart & feelings, and the outcomes/consequences of one’s actions before you act them out.

All of us can fool others and ourselves part of the time but fooling God is never an option. This is why I trust in Him. He knows me better than I know myself. God only seeks what is best for me and He allows me to find myself even in times of great guilt and confusion.

God loves me and His love for me is always pure and never self-serving. This is why I am committed to Spiritual Growth and Christ-like Character. If you ask me when I am the happiest, it is when I see Christ in me, the hope of my salvation.

True character is about being like Jesus. Always striving to answer the question, "What would Jesus want me to do, to be, to attain too?"
