CHAPTER 6
CHARACTER

Nothing is more pathetic than having a small character in a big assignment. Many of us don’t want to give attention to our character; we just want the big assignment from God.

Henry Blackaby

Your reputation is what people say about you. Your character is what God and your wife know about you.
