18. Godly character is what you are when you've been tried and proven. It is not what you say you are, or what people think you are but, instead, it is what shines through after you have suffered and have endured. It is the proof of your genuineness.

About This Quote

The qualities of a true man or woman of God are rarely easy to identify. It is the character that God works in us that is the true measure of who we are. We all have our issues, but when it comes to the things that matter most in life, God has worked in us to bring out what is pure and holy in us. That’s when we can truly say we are “Godly men and women of God.”
