Respect

I like the saying on this picture from Successories and wanted to share with you.

The Essence of Respect

Promises are only words until they are tested.
It's when your best intentions meet hard reality that true character is revealed.
Maintain your integrity in those difficult times and your word will gain a quiet strength that others will never doubt.

I need to be reminded of this occaisionally. Maintaining character in a world where satan reigns is impossible without the gentle nudgings of the Holy Spirit and his protection of our mind and soul.
