I attended a filmmaker’s course with an emphasis on screen writing at the Artscape in Cape Town, 2003. They gave us some points in character development that I found very useful. But looking at it from a spiritual perspective has really given me some Riches of inner Character:

Desire

Psa 37:4  Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Point of View

Exo 7:1  So the LORD said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Exo 7:2  You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land.

Conflict

Php 1:29  For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

Php 1:30  having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Obstacles

Rom 9:33  As it is written: “BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STUMBLING STONE AND ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND WHOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.”

Change

Heb 7:12  For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

Motivation

Pro 20:5  Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, But a man of understanding will draw it out.

Attitude

Pro 23:7  For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

Personality

1Pe 3:4  rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

Behaviour

Joh 15:5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Secret

Psa 25:12  Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
