Does Character matter?

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself……” -Daniel 1:8

Does our character matter? Does our private life impact our public ministry? The answer to both of these questions is YES! Character plays a vital role in our ministry and our lives. How each of us deals with the circumstance of our life will tell us and others many things about us. Our character is the foundation on which we build our life. Daniel was a great example of a man of character. He would not compromise his beliefs or actions, his motives remained pure, he remained disciplined in his private prayer life and his integrity and convictions never waivered. Daniel’s desire was to please God, so he made up his mind to do what God wanted him to do. Daniel’s character mattered.

Here a few things about character to reflect on.
Character is more than talk it is action.
Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.
Character brings lasting success with people.
People cannot rise above the limitations of their character.
