I: my character, my choice (part 1)

A lot has been happening around me recently, people putting up attitudes, some appealing and some appalling.
Taking our theme verse to heart, we would be looking at how much of our choice our character is. In as much as we know we are here to discover how to be BEAUTIFUL INSIDE out, we shouldn't be naive to the fact that there are some things we should guard against.
Using the acronym of the word SALT, lets discuss the letter S.

Sweet or Sour
When something is sweet, everyone craves for it. A quick one: put a little quantity of sugar on the floor and you would find ants around it, or anything that has sugary content in it. This applies also in our everyday life. No one, when he is approached by a beautiful girl or a handsome boy with a handshake turns it down except there are other things we onlookers don't know. We love to hang around beautiful people, but the moment we discover they have a sour character, no one tells us, we just know when to draw the Line.
You may have all the qualifications in the world, the best  of cars, houses and what have you. Beloved, if your character is sour, you would stink to everyone around you. Sooner than later, you would find out you are all alone to yourself. I used to be very blunt without looking at who you are, but i discovered some people do not survive the blunt actions. I decided within me, i would lovingly rebuke people and still be truthful to them. At that point, i gain their heart and their trust and most of all their confidence. I am not saying to be blunt is bad, but if you have known me, you would understand me better. Drawing the line has nothing to do with being blunt, know when to draw the line, when to say yes and no as well. I didn't just change all of a sudden, it is the God who live inside of me that has been helping me and He is still helping me.

To be sweet is not what you would just wake up and be all over the place, it is from within. As the Bible puts it clearly to us ...have salt in yourselves... I say as well "be sweet in yourself, you would be sweet to everyone".

You could say this prayer with me:
"Lord Jesus, when you lived among men, you were so sweet that everyone wanted a taste of you. As i live in this world, make me sweet just as you are so that the world would have a taste of you in me and would know that I am sweet because You are SWEET. Make me beautiful on the inside and make others life beautiful as well. I thank you Lord because you have heard my prayers. Amen".
