Be consistent. Be faithful. Be patient.
And, the people who really matter will realize that you aren’t who you used to be.
But beware…
This is true for both good and bad character.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
BE BLESSTIFIED!
BE BLESSTIFIED! 
Even when we sin and mess up, others are watching to see if we’ve changed, especially those close to us. They’re watching to see if we handle those situations differently now that we are Christians. Do we recognize the sin? Do we repent of it? And if it offended others, do we apologize & seek forgiveness? As Christians, we are a work in progress, so we WILL mess up! But, how we handle that mess up can also speak volumes to others. ❤
