Character is closing the gap between knowing & doing.
(John Maxwell, motivational speaker)
Most of us would have to confess that we know more about what we ought to do than we actually practice doing. Knowing what’s right is usually not the problem. It’s having the courage to do it when the doing is difficult. But that’s the test of character.
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins. (James 4:17)
