I've thought about that a lot.

Before I became a Christian there were people who said I had a good character.

I told my share of lies.

I even stole things from the stores.

I used foul language.

I had a bad attitude.

I went into bars and came out drunk.

There was nothing in the things I was doing that gave me anything but a bad character.

When I asked Jesus into my heart I started changing from the inside out.

My character started changing.

I don't tell lies, steal, cuss, drink, and my attitude has changed.

I try to see the good things in others.

I try to keep a positive out look on life.

Sometimes I stumble and fall.

But Jesus is always there to pick me up.

The enemy will try to get a Christian to go back to their old ways.

When you are a Christian someone is always watching you.

Maybe someone who is sitting on the fence trying to figure out which way to go.

If they see you drunk, cussing, telling a lie, or stealing something, they might say they're no different than me.

Maybe that was their last chance to turn to Jesus.

The enemy will sing for joy because he caused you, (a Christian ), to turn another soul away from the Lord.

If that same person is watching you and notices the joy, love, and faith you have in Jesus he might ask Jesus into his heart.

God changes our character.

We as Christians, have to protect our characters.

The enemy will try to tempt us with things that are no longer in our characters.

We want to please God in all that we do.

To lead the lost to Him.

We're free from the enemy because of Jesus.

We are now Gods children.

We can't compromise our characters.

Gusrd and protect the character God has given to you.

It's truly a blessing to be changed by the Holy Spirit that lives within us.

Your character will glorify the Lord.

Praise God for the joy, faith, and love He has given to you.

Let them shine through your character.

PRAISE GOD THE FATHER, JESUS OUR SAVIOR, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT LIVES WITHIN ALL CHRISTIANS.
