Character Conditioning

"That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us." (2 Timothy 1:14 NKJV) Someone rightly posited that God is more interested in our character than our comfort. The pursuit great character becomes the priority of a purpose-driven life, rather than the pursuit of good comfort. Change in condition is the spice of life, which implies that consistent comfort in all situations of life is a luxury. However, godly character is sustainable with the Spirit of God. Godly character is good enough as possession to be traded with comfort and affluence.

Gracious Goodies

"That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us". (2 Timothy 1:14 NKJV) Until one is subjected to an intense and highly provocative environment, the true nature of the inner chemistry of goodness behind every human gesture remains under discovery. Responses to provocation is naturally unpleasant unless a divine Container, in the person of the Holy Spirit, is enabled. Without a personal consideration of the action and inaction of others, many will be consistent with their to call to love and faith. We are all made as embodiments of goodies, possibly turned grinchy in the absence of the grace of God.
