character
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
These words came through the (e)mail today. And these are the Words of the Bible:
Character of the New Man
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
(Colossians 3:12-15)
Have you attained the character of the New Man? Have I?
But I guess, the more important question is, are we working towards having this character as our own? Remember, it will determine our 'destiny'.
Watch your words; they become actions.
