A chance to get better or a chance to get worse

As an athlete, every training or food choice I make, either makes me better, or makes me worse. this is the same thing in the christian life. Today I had a chance to choose. Character is just the sum of these choices right:) This morning I was prompted by the holy spirit to ask my colleague for forgiveness for saying something hurtful to him last night. it just came out in the middle of a competition where i just said that wat he did was wrong. I can be extremely competitive and in some cases i have to manage that better. This guy is a very secure and stable guy so i don't think I would cause him to jump off a building or anything like that. But thats really not the point. The point is that i did apologize. I did deliberate in my heart if it was at all necessary and anyway "its not that serious". But i realise that if i did not, i would be disobedient and that would be bad becuase i missed a chance to develop character.

Lets all take every chance we can to get better.

God Bless,
Jonathan
