Character Development Part 2

 

Hello, this is Daneille Snowden with Multiply; a podcast to encourage village church, planters, pastors and Christian leaders.

As we continue to talk about character development, especially in God’s people, we will read Romans 8:28  “All things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to his purpose."

The definition to development is to work out possibilities, growth, and be usable as we change gradually. To Build Up.

As God’s children continue to grow and learn as Christians, we learn that there are times when the Lord adds to our lives, and times things in our lives are stripped away. This includes moments of brokenness, and growth.

Reading this, my mind turned back years ago when I made bread with my children. In the baking process; we would add yeast to our flour, next: we would WORK or kneed the yeast into what became now a dough mix, as we watched it change completely!

We observed as we worked the dough with our hands, the flour and yeast was transformed as a gas was created that made the bread rise. And to COMPLETE this development; the bread was placed in the oven to bake. We were left with nutritious, delicious bread! Thus, not only changed (developed) what was once flour and yeast, how it became a loaf of bread that was a blessing to many.

We pray that in all things that we bring glory to God, and make a difference in people’s lives. It comes with a cost, a lot of time, and endurance: as God works all things out within us; what we today define as character development.
