So I happened to catch a radio interview with a pastor by the name of Ted Cunningham, who has authored several books, including one title "Fun Loving You". He has also co-authored books with marriage/relationship guru, Dr. Gary Smalley.
Pastor Cunningham made a statement though, that is both incredibly true and profound that I thought would be great to expound upon, on this #communitySaturday. "Character trumps compatibility." Granted, this certainly applies to marriages and relationships of that nature and intent. But I think there's a bigger application when it comes to friends and business and who we surround ourselves with on any given day. We should certainly be the people of character when we find ourselves in scenarios and surroundings where there are those with whom we disagree or don't get along. That said, we shouldn't become so enthralled with the compatibility element of any relationship, regardless of it's nature, when the evidence of character is lacking. Yet sadly, we see it all too often. People begin and continue in all nature of relationships in the name of compatibility while we wonder what could exist and be accomplished if we placed greater emphasis on being and developing people of character. So, a very simple prayer, this #communitySaturday. Pray that as we engage community, may we be people of character. Pray that we would help encourage those around us to be and live as people of character as well. May we lead our homes and families with that focus and teach our children the same. Pray that we would not be so focused on issues of compatibility, and being a right fit or match, but being people of righteousness. For life gets real And it is hard May our focus be on doing right Rather than living from a place of ease. For the glory of God. - PNC
