Heart Over Hype

The world celebrates charisma—loud voices, big platforms, and flashy gifts. But God? He’s looking deeper. He’s not impressed by titles or talents. He’s drawn to a surrendered heart. 

Character is the God-given ability to make the right choice when most people don’t. It’s working harder than you ever have for your goals, even when you don’t see an immediate payoff.
 

God chooses character over charisma every time. He’s not looking for the most articulate or the most admired. He’s looking for the most available. The one who says, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.” 

God doesn’t need your spotlight. He wants your surrender. The Kingdom doesn’t run on hype; it runs on humility, honor, and holiness. When your heart is fully His, you become a vessel for His glory, not your own. That’s where real authority lives, not in applause, but in alignment. 

The surrendered heart says, “I don’t need to be seen. I need to be sent.” And when God sends you, no man can stop you. Heaven backs the humble. When your heart is aligned with His, you carry the authority of heaven. You don’t need hype to walk in power. You need humility and surrender.  

In a world that values performance, God values purity. In a culture that promotes image, God promotes integrity. He searches for hearts. Not for perfection, but for authenticity.

Brew on This: 

Are there areas in your life where charisma has taken priority over character? What would it look like to surrender those areas and let God shape your heart?
