Growing Up, Character, Goal

The next sentence is one of the most important spiritual truths you will ever learn: God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.

There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test... You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies.

Prayer, Character, Promise

Rick Warren (2004). “What on Earth Am I Here For?”

What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.

God uses his Word, people and circumstances to mold us. All three are indispensable for character development. God's word provides the truth we need to grow, God's people provide the support we need to grow, and circumstances provide the environment we need to grow.

God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

Rick Warren (2012). “The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?”, p.40, Zondervan

I've often said why does God leave us here on earth, once we accept Christ, once we're in the family, why didn't he just kill us. Why leave us here? Well, because he's working on our character through these trials, these tribulations, we're learning to practice what we're going to do in heaven. So really, the kingdom mindset is actually the eternal mindset. It's not just about eternal life. Eternal life is getting ready for that.

Character, Practice, Heaven

Never be impressed with charisma. Look for character.

FaceBook post by Pastor Rick Warren from Apr 30, 2013

Life is [perceived as] a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

Character, Happy Life, Goal

What you BECOME on earth matters far more than what you DO. You're taking your character to heaven, not your career.

Rick Warren (2008). “God's Power to Change Your Life”, p.17, Zondervan

God does not want you to become a God; he wants you to become godly - taking on his values, attitudes, and character.

Attitude, Character, Godly

Rick Warren (2010). “Daily Inspiration for the Purpose Driven Life: Scriptures and Reflections from the 40 Days of Purpose”, p.83, Zondervan

Character is never built in a classroom; it is built in the circumstances of life.
