Character Alone Abides



Character Alone Abides
We must strive to realize every dream of goodness and Christ-likeness that our hearts dream. Remember it is character that is the only test, and the only true fruit, of living. It is not knowledge; for knowledge will fail. It is not money; for money cannot be carried away from earth. It is not fame; for fame's laurels fade at the grave's edge, and its voice gives no cheer in the valley of shadows. It is not culture or education or refinement. It is life--not what we have or what we know, but what we are--that we can carry with us into the eternal world.

Matthew 6:19-21: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (KJV)
