Christian Character ABCs
\n<\/font>by Joy Marie Dunlap <\/p>\n

<\/font>A <\/font>is for Alertness<\/strong>, being careful to see
\n     Things which could hurt others, and which might tempt me. <\/p>\n

<\/font>B <\/font>is for Benevolence<\/strong> when the things that I do
\n     Are for the good of others, and to God’s Word I’m true. <\/p>\n

<\/font>C <\/font>is for Courage<\/strong> to do what is right,
\n     When in trials we walk by faith, not by sight. <\/p>\n

<\/font>D <\/font>is for Diligence<\/strong>, when I work with a will,
\n     And if the job is not done yet, I keep working still. <\/p>\n

<\/font>E <\/font>is for Endurance<\/strong>, with my eyes fixed on Him,
\n     And the joy set before me, my resolve must never dim. <\/p>\n

<\/font>F <\/font>is for Faithfulness<\/strong>, when I do heartily
\n     All the good in my power, which God has for me. <\/p>\n

<\/font>G <\/font>is for Gratefulness<\/strong>, not forgetting the ways,
\n     In which God has done good to me all of my days. <\/p>\n

<\/font>H <\/font>is for Honesty<\/strong>, saying only what is true,
\n     And not deceiving by the things that I do. <\/p>\n

<\/font>I <\/font>is for Integrity<\/strong>, when people can see,
\n     Because my heart is sincere, that they can trust me. <\/p>\n

<\/font>J <\/font>is for Joy<\/strong>, that contentment of heart,
\n     That comes from obeying and doing my part. <\/p>\n

<\/font>K <\/font>is for Kindness<\/strong>, when we are careful to treat,
\n     As well-loved by our Father, all those whom we meet. <\/p>\n

<\/font>L <\/font>is for Love<\/strong>, when I’m patient and kind,
\n     And do my best good for others each chance that I find. <\/p>\n

<\/font>M <\/font>is for Meekness<\/strong> when I take last place,
\n     When I’d rather honor others than save my own face. <\/p>\n

<\/font>N <\/font>is for Neatness<\/strong>, keeping all that is mine,
\n     From being a distraction and taking people’s time. <\/p>\n

<\/font>O <\/font>is for Obedience<\/strong>, when Jesus is Lord,
\n     And my life is all His, I obey all His Word. <\/p>\n

<\/font>P <\/font>is for Patience<\/strong>, when I’m willing to wait,
\n     Because I have faith that God’s timing’s not late. <\/p>\n

<\/font>Q <\/font>is for Quietness<\/strong> when my heart is at peace,
\n     It comes when my own wants and plans I release. <\/p>\n

<\/font>R <\/font>is for Resourcefulness<\/strong>, when I creatively use
\n     What God has given me, contentment I choose. <\/p>\n

<\/font>S <\/font>is for Sincerity<\/strong>, when people can see,
\n     That my motives are pure; I’m not living for me. <\/p>\n

<\/font>T <\/font>is for Temperance<\/strong>, when my senses don’t reign,
\n     As I enjoy in moderation God’s blessings and gain. <\/p>\n

<\/font>U <\/font>is for Unity<\/strong>, when God’s heart we share,
\n     We serve Him together and each other’s burdens bear. <\/p>\n

<\/font>V <\/font>is for Virtue<\/strong> when my life is a light,
\n     Because obeying God’s Word is my chief delight. <\/p>\n

<\/font>W <\/font>is for Wisdom<\/strong>, seeing things through God’s eyes,
\n     When I study God’s Word, that’s how I become wise. <\/p>\n

<\/font>X <\/font>is for eXcellence<\/strong> in all that I do,
\n     As unto the Lord, His own plans to pursue. <\/p>\n

<\/font>Y <\/font>is for Yielding<\/strong> to God’s perfect will,
\n     Giving up all my own plans, His plans to fulfill. <\/p>\n

<\/font>Z <\/font>is for Zeal<\/strong>, sincere eagerness to
\n     Make life count for God’s kingdom in all that I do. <\/p>\n
