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 !!!

10 things God won't ask on that day

Caring

Tom was a loner, when he moved with his parents and attended a new school, he kept to himself. he never talked to anyone and also never let anyone get close to him. basically, he was afraid to love and didn't let his feelings for others to show out of fear that they wouldn't feel the same way. parents, friends, classmates, co-workers-it didn't matter. everyone was just kept at a distance.

at times, tom saw people who were in real need and wanted to reach out to them, he wanted to show his love and concern for them. but he didn't want to take a chance on showing his true feelings. he didn't understand that loving others is a risk worth taking. love openly expresses itself, even if it's being misunderstood or rejected.

so, give love a chance, be open with others about your feelings, don't be like tom, you wouldn't wanna live the rest of your life as a loner. your heart and your head will tell you when and how to love, the spirit will prompt you, when it happens, just let it happen and start showing someone you care.

remember this: if you keep your feelings bottled up too long, they might spoil. so give give someone some love today. have a nice day !!!

quote of the day:

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment." 1 John 4:18

outlook

an ancient proverb says, "Focusing on the gloom and doom makes even your bones tired." it's hard to focus on the positive when you feel like slumping around in your own little world of doom. often it's just hard to see the positive in other people, but if you focus on the negative, it eats away at your very core. it makes your bones tired.

look for the good in others, every person has at least one good characteristic. why not stretch to find it? it's there one, you just got to make the effort. God created human life, and HE doesn't do inferior work. when you discover that good quality in a person, focus on it, think about the good instead of the bad.

look at life's circumstances in the same manner as well. develop a healthy outlook so that people comfortable and confident in you. you know, some people look at the sky and only see clouds. make a determination to look for sun beams instead. with this kind of positive outlook, you chase away the blues and the glooms, making you a stronger person. on top of that it also influences and encourages the naysayers as well. have a nice day all of you !!!
