I have to be honest in the fact that I do not like adversity or struggle, but I love what it shows me about myself, how it tests my faith, and how I grow through it and from it.
Character is ultimately tested during adversity and struggle, and hopefully it is deepened. Here are a few random quotes for you to ponder relative to Character:
