HOW TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF TRUE CHARACTER OF A POTENTIAL SPOUSE PART ONE

GLIMPSES OF TRUE CHARACTER How do we evaluate a person's character? How do we get past image and reputation to catch a glimpse of who a person really is? As we evaluate someone's character (including our own), we need to carefully observe three areas--how the individual relates to God, the way he or she treats others, and the way this person disciplines his or her personal life. These areas are like windows into a person's character. "As the daylight can be seen through very small holes, so little things will illustrate a person's character," writes Samuel Smiles. "Indeed, character consists in little acts, well and honorably performed." Let's look at some of the "little acts" that can tell us more about a person. 1. How a Person Relates to God A person's relationship to God is the defining relationship in his or her life--when this relationship is out of order, every other relationship will suffer.

HOW TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF TRUE CHARACTER OF A POTENTIAL SPOUSE PART THREE

3. Personal Discipline The third window to character is how a person disciplines and conducts his or her personal life. "Habit," writes Charlotte Mason, "is the greater part of nature." The things we do involuntarily, almost without thinking, reveal our character. When we consider this category, we need to note the difference between sinful habits and simply annoying habits or poor manners. Everyone has habits that another person will find silly or irritating. My dad drives my mother crazy with the way he eats corn on the cob. His method is reminiscent of an old typewriter: Munch, munch, munch, munch, kaching! Munch, munch, munch down the next row. This may not be the best table manners, but it isn't a sinful habit. Instead of concerning ourselves with issues such as these, we need to examine whether a potential spouse (or we ourselves) fosters habits that are disobedient to God or revealing of a deeper disregard for others.

SUPERNATURAL BUT MAY NOT BE SPECTACULAR ---GOD'S PRIMARY AND BASIC LEADING IN HIS CHILDREN

Hmmm........INNER WITNESS,INNER KNOWING,INNER CONVICTION OR INNER AFFIRMATION...... Many of us,in our bid to hearing from God, look from the supernaturally spectacular and miss the supernatural.The first basic and primary way God would lead and speak to His trtchildren is through the INWARD/INNER WITNESS OR INWARD/INNER KNOWING.Although vision,dreams,trance,angelic visitation,etc are supernatural and spectacular yet the INWARD/INNER WITNESS/KNOWING is also supernatural but not spectacular. When we are in the bid to hearing from God,we should not look forward to this supernatural and spectacular type(vision,trance,dreams,angelic visitation,audible voice etc-DONOT SEEK EXPERIENCE) but to look forward to our INNER/INWARD WITNESS (Though this may not b spectacular but it is also supernatural). How do we know that we are saved?Thru the inner witness-the Holy Spirit bearing witness with our spirit(Romans8:16).The first day we receive Jesus as our Lord and personal Savior,we DID...
