Good morning, gorgeous. How are you doing today? I hope you're having a fanatastic day. Welcome to the Dr. Davs show. I'm your host, Dr. Michelle

Daff. We're talking today again about character. I know I talked in the past about possibly

making this an entire series for a longer period of time, maybe next year. And I think I definitely want to do it. Because the thing

about character is that we use that word all the time. His character, her character, you have to

have good character. Your character matters. But there aren't a lot of teachings about what that

actually looks like in the day to day of your life.

Like what moments happen spontaneously that show your character?

And for me, I said it before and I'll say it again.

This is an area that affected me greatly. It is the area that

brought me right into the hands of Jesus was that my character was so bad. And it affected

every part of who I was. I didn't even know it. For example, when I was a little girl,

I would lie all the time. I remember literally sitting on my mom's bed

and her having lectures that would last an hour about me lying. And I did it so much that it got

wrapped into who I was. So as I got older, I would lie about things I did not need to lie about

because I just got so used to lying being an option. Yeah, I could tell the truth, or I could lie.

And either way, it didn't really matter to me. So it wasn't until I got saved that, of course, the spirit of God came upon me in a sense

that I started to realize where I was lying.

Because when you do something so much, it gets weaved into who you are and you may even

have a hard time separating yourself from it.

So those little lies I used to tell, like, for example, someone asks me, well, what are you doing?

What are you doing right now? I'm on the phone. What are you doing right now? Instead of just saying,

oh, I'm just sitting on the bed, I'll come up with more than what I'm actually doing for no reason or what ended up
