Do you remember meeting someone who is authentic in every way; someone who was kind yet honest; someone who showed you respect even when he or she disagreed with you? Have you ever encountered a person who was respectful to everyone, yet did not compromise the truth when things got tough; who was never mealy mouth; who was honest about feelings and fears yet remained steady in his or her faith?
I met two such people and wanted to be like each of them.
Such an underlying character draws the love and respect of a mate. It is a worthy personal goal (Colossians 3:18-19).
