Freedom

                                                                     

There are valuable lessons at the end of this post in video form . Take the time to first read the Character traits that we struggle with and God encourages us to grow in. 

Lets define the Character Trait's that offer us the freedom's we so desire. Without Character we will never maintain the Freedom's that have been given to us. Defining who we are and where we are heading is the First Step.

1) Self-Control  this includes moderation, self-discipline, willpower, and restraint. The strongest control is God control. This is when we align with our purpose.

2) Courage  An outward display of the inward character quality of confidence. Strength to take risk, face danger, endure difficulty or withstand fear. Here is a study taken from Katie Brazelton's book Character Makeover. 

3) Perseverance  Persistence, Patients, Endurance, Diligence,and Pressing on. Maturity requires perseverance.

4) Generosity   Do good, Be rich in good deeds,be generous and willing to share.

5) Humility   Humility is the natural result of having an accurate perspective of who God is and having the right perspective of who you are in relation to him.

6) Contentment  Is a choice.We choose to be satisfied in God despite circumstances knowing that all things serve a purpose and God works all things together for our good.

7) Patience  is an outward displayed character quality that results from the inward character quality of self-control.

8) Confidence  Is only as good as the one you place it in. If we trust in God an unchangeable standard of perfection you will know, despite what any one says or despite what you tell yourself that you are valuable, lovable ,forgivable,desirable, and acceptable.

These video's are powerful truths that can empower you for the change you are seeking. Invest in yourself today and receive how valuable you really are and how significant your role in life is.

Our character has little to do with our beliefs if we do not put them into practice and evaluate our responses to the opportunities that allow us to express our character.

I hope and pray that you are encouraged and will challenge yourself to grow , Heavenly Father as we seek to become a standard reflecting your image we invite you to guide and instruct us on our journey. We are clay in the makers hand and we are grateful to be a part of the master's plan in Jesus name we pray Amen.
