values

everyone has beliefs or values that determine how he or she will act or react in given situation. whether they are spiritual, moral, financial, or political, you, too, have values that affect your behavior. there are some things you are willing to do and some things you won't do simply because of what you believe.

tv, magazines, and billboard ads try to influence your beliefs all the time, for instance, some challenge you to wait until you are married before you have a sexual relationship. "I am worth it," the ad slogan reminds you. that's the same as saying, "I have some beliefs about my self-worth that will determine my behavior."

abstinence may not be the most popular belief, but it's a good one-and practical one too. just think of all the things you have to worry about now, do you really want to carry all the baggage that comes with growing up too fast? this is the world that we are living in now, it forces us to grow faster than we ever thought, way beyond our actual ability and capacity. so young people, watch out for it, use wisdom from God to know where you should be at your life.

always remember to put your value system at work and say, "I'm too valuable to do anything contrary to my beliefs." your commitment to abstinence may influence someone else just when he or she is making decisions about his or her own behavior. remember this: values are valuable. have a nice day !!!
