12 Rules For Living Right

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10

Do you want to develop a healthier self-image? If so, here are 12 rules for doing it: (1) reject your sin, but never yourself (2) be quick to repent. Unconfessed sin is like a ball and chain; it’ll hold you back (3) be honest with God and yourself, about yourself (4) when God gives you light, walk in it. He’ll never command what He won’t enable you to do (5) stop putting yourself down, you’re contradicting God (6) never have an exaggerated opinion of your own importance (7) don’t always assume that when things go wrong, it’s your fault. Admit when you’re wrong; learn from it, then go on to become stronger and wiser (8) beware of having yourself on your mind too much. Don’t obsess over what you’ve done, right or wrong; both activities keep your mind on you. Listen: ‘You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.’ (Isaiah 26:3) (9) take care of yourself physically. Do the best you can with what God gave you, but don’t be excessive or vain about your appearance - it’s temporal at best (10) don’t allow your education to become a point of pride, or your lack of it, a source of inferiority. God doesn’t use you because of your I.Q., He uses you because of your ‘I will’ (11) your talents are a gift from God, not something you manufactured yourself, so don’t look down on people who can’t do what you do (12) don’t despise your weaknesses - they keep you dependent on God.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, Take my Life and let it be – consecrated Lord to thee! Amen
