Character
Competence
Courage
Calling

12. Character
Good character starts now. It ends at our transition to heaven. It is something that can build
each day with small wins. Or it can be damaged in a moment—we start over and start stronger.
So start today. Start now. Get forgiven, get cleansed and released from the sin that so easily entangles. Become the person that God wants you to become. 
It’s super important because everyone knows how to recognize it!
