The Content of Your Character: To Be Like Joseph
your natural talents may get you into life's proverbial car
but it's the content of your character that will drive you far
true success doesn't always come with financial prosperity
true success is measured by how you maintain your integrity
it matters not your title, your status nor the things you possess
it's the content of your character that will make your testimony progress
nothing happens overnight and true success is usually a journey
and your character is what will provide the meat for the gravy
just don't become arrogant and think you can do it all alone
for humility is the bulldozer that will knock you off your throne
to be like Joseph who by his own brothers was sold and betrayed
to be like Joseph who despite everything from his character he never strayed
never to become discouraged and angry by the hand in life he was dealt
never to compromise his belief and integrity nor to become bitter by the hurt
your character will maintain you no matter the circumstance
your integrity and faith will sustain in spite of the happenstance
God has great plans for you and He's already mapped out the chart
plans of hope and a future with a righteousness of heart
for whatever God has in mind for you nothing and no one can ever stop
He will always keep His eyes on you and lift you up to the top
so let the content of your character remain steadfast and above board
as true success and prosperity will be coming from the Lord
