Three Important Facts

Three Important Facts:

One: The way we respond to adversity shows the person we truly were all along. As Scripture says, "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small" (Proverbs 24:10).

Two: The way we treat people is more important than the way they treat us. The Golden Rule is still a rule: "Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them" (Matthew 7:12).

Three: Character endures long after achievement is forgotten. Francois Fenelon was right: "The more you say, the less people remember." But godliness always points to God.

Dwight Moody noted, "If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me." Solomon agreed: "Whoever walks in integrity walks securely" (Proverbs 10:9).
