Character Over Reputation by Robert Ricciardelli

We must be more concerned with our character than our reputation, because our character is who we really are, all the time. Our reputation is merely what others may think we are. A real testimony of God's grace occurs when our character is lined up with God's nature, and His will for us as His children. May our reputation to others be a reputation of a life lived for the services of God and for the glory of His name.
