“How do we evaluate a person’s character? How do we get past image and reputation to catch a glimpse of who a person really is?

As we evaluate someone’s character (including our own), we need to carefully observe three areas - how the individual relates to God, the way he or she treats others, and the way this person disciplines his or her personal life. These areas are like windows into a person’s character. ‘As the daylight can be seen through very small holes, so little things will illustrate a person’s character,’ writes Samuel Smiles. ‘Indeed, character consists in little acts, well and honorably performed.’”
