"I know, my God, that you test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you."
4. Goals Build My Character
The greatest benefit to your life and to your goals is not going to be accomplishments and achievements you require because of those goals, but what happens inside you while you are moving toward the goal.
God is more interested in your character than he is in your accomplishments.
You are not taking your success or career to heaven, you are taking your character.
So, God is more interested in who you are and what you become than he is in what you do, accomplish and what you succeed at.
God is interested in you.
Drifting does not build your character, but goals build your character.
If you set your goal and you get a vision, then God says, “I can work in you” and God starts building your character in the process.
So, while I am working on the goal, God is working on me. That is what God wants to do in your life. Goals help build your character.
Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
I have to “press on.” It takes time, it takes energy, it takes focus, it takes intention, it takes courage, in spite of failures to reach your goal. As you work on your goal, God is working on your character.
You will never become the person God intends you to be, unless you intend to become that person.
Goals build your character.

Work on your relationship (vertically) with Jesus and He will help you with your relationships (horizontally) with man. You and I have to go first.
Character is defined as strength of moral fiber. A.W. Tozer described character as “the excellence of moral beings.” As the excellence of gold is its purity and the excellence of art is its beauty, so the excellence of man is his character. Persons of character are noted for their honesty, ethics, and charity. Descriptions such as “man of principle” and “woman of integrity” are assertions of character. A lack of character is moral deficiency, and persons lacking character tend to behave dishonestly, unethically, and uncharitably.
I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself.
