Character

CHARACTER


Choices are by everyone made,
	Many some will try to evade.
Heavenly values should be kept in sight,
	While busily engaged in this life’s plight.
Awareness to what others see,
	As you from temptation carefully flee.
Rigidly for principle stand,
	Rightly pursuing God’s great plan.
Amazed at the current modernistic view,
	Amused at the way they success pursue.
Content to be considered “odd”
	Choosing rather to simply follow God.
Thoughtful of a way that’s much better,
	Trying to avoid this world’s fetters.
Ever cognizant of a Watchful Eye
	Even when one thinks he’s so sly.
Remembering that it’s not what others see,
	Results of character – what He knows us to be.
