...living a less toxic life!
• Jan. 25, 2007 - Character
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. -- Abraham Lincoln
I like this quotation.
Many of us are too preoccupied with what others think of us. We are too concerned about our appearance. Our 'face'. What's more important is what God thinks of us. What our inner man is like. And what we are when no one is watching us. That reflects our true character.
You cannot hold or hug a shadow. You want to love the real thing; not some nebulous entity which is really non-existent or just made-belief...
Let Christ rule you today. And let's be real. That is also the beginning of peace and contentment.
