      ·  Personality: This embraces mood, attitude and opinions and is
      most clearly expressed in interactions with other people. It includes

      behavioral  characteristics  both  inherent  and  acquired  that
      distinguish one person from another and that can be observed in
      people's relation to the environment and to social groups. Some

      people have an inherent attitude that best describes them or their
      family;  it  becomes  part  of  their  life  which  can  be  positive  or
      negative.  For  instance,  they  refer  to  some  families  as  being
      promiscuous  thereby  they  don't  stay  in  a  marriage,  He  is  very

      arrogant that his life, She is hot-tempered or They are very lovely,
      she is so honest etc. all these are one personality. What are you
      known for, it speaks for us, it goes ahead of us. Like the Nazirite

      among the ancient Hebrews, a sacred person whose separation was
      most commonly distinguished by his uncut hair, and his abstinence
      from wine.(Jeremiah 35 : 1 – 16; Judges 16 :17; 13:5;Numbers 6 :5)



      ·    Courage:  This  is  the  mental  or  moral  strength  to  venture,
      persevere  and  withstand  danger,  fear  or  difficulty  or  to  resist
      opposition,  danger  or  hardship  without  summiting  to  them  or

      endangering their soul. No wonder GOD commanded Joshua after
      the death of Moses to be courageous (Joshua 1:6 - 7) ''Be strong
      and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the
      land I swore to their ancestors to give them''. We have pampered

      our children so much that the spirit of fear has dominion over them.
      They can't stand or withstand anything forgetting that this life is not
      the bed of roses and we can't stay with them forever. A child will be

      facing terrible things outside just because of simple threats they
      can't talk; they cannot express themselves and become victims of
      circumstances.
