Building Your Life on Values!!
This is an essay on building your life
on values. First of all, what are
values? Values are a system of beliefs
that we tend to keep with us from birth to death. For example, accepting responsibility; this
means that we take ownership of our behavior.
Another example is that we are accountable to God for how I lived my
life. Who are you living your life for
right now? We are living for God and
ourselves. Romans 8:10 says since Christ
lives within you even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit is
alive because you have been made right with God.
Further,
we are interdependent on each other. I
live my life the way I want to, this is not true. God is watching you. Every decision you make affects someone
else. An example of this is the family. If there is a drug problem in the family, it
affects each and every person in the family.
We are all interdependent of each other.
I need to be responsible because God rewards it. Proverbs 13:20 says He who walks with the wise
grows wise. The responsible book in the
Bible is Proverbs. It teaches you how to
manage your life. God will teach us how
to be a better person; if you only let Him.
When you listen, you change inwardly and outwardly.
Finally,
when it comes to dealing with my behavior, I have to really think before I
act. I have to really work on my overall
character. It is not easy for me because
whenever a person is hearing things that does not make any sense; it means that
Satan has infiltrated your life. I know
for me personally, I have been hearing voices since November 8, 2009. I know that I have problems with my
concentration. I have taken medication
for it in the past. It only makes things
worse.
As far as values are concerned, I value
family, education, and freedom. I value
the institution of family because family is very important. I have to modify my way of thinking by
reading the Bible and praying each day.
I also have to learn how to take things one day at a time. I know that I have not been cleaning my
apartment the way I should. This is
simply because I have to have back surgery very soon. This is because I have 2 herniated disks
inside of my lower back. Please keep me
in your prayers. Thank you for reading
my brief blog.
Sincerely,
Anthony
