Are You Keeping Right?

It's almost impossible not to hear people say you should take them for who they are or forget having them for who they are not. Of course, it's good and appealing to display one's instinctive character or behaviour. But, what kind of person are you? Abraham Lincoln counsels, '' Whatever you are, be a good one.''

A guy does all manner of immoralties, yet he says that is the kind of person he is. He has recreated himself - conforming to the dictates of his desires.

The definition of a person can be seen in his habits. More often, our habits form who we are (not who God intended us to be.) God has made nothing natural in us except for our abilities, gifting and talents. ''We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.'' Don't cook up excuses for your unsuitable behaviour. Whatever kind of (good) person you want to be seen in, show it by your actions - your habits will take care of it tomorrow.
