Character and gifting.
Character reflects Christ-likeness, demonstrating how much Scripture has impacted our lives, and is absolutely essential. Character is something that we learn to grow and develop over years as we follow, obey and grow in the Scriptures, but gifting is something that God gives. Man doesn’t have anything except it is given from Heaven. (John 3:27) John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.”
"Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character."
— John C. Maxwell
