If you really want to know what a person is like, put him under pressure. As heat and light emanate from fire, so is a person’s character revealed when things get tough. In the crucible of interpersonal relationships, the nature of our heart is made known. In moments of pressure or confrontation, our true self is revealed.
“For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”
— Matthew 12:34-35 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, make us men and women of character. Create in us a heart filled with compassion and integrity. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
