Hi Peeps To Embrace The Value Of God

From the time I could comprehend that certain people, beliefs, behaviors and things had value, I have held my family in a high level of importance. I enjoyed being a part of my family and since I was the first child of my parents and the first grandchild of both sets of grandparents, I was doted on. This was never so apparent as the advantageous attention I received from the grandparents. Throughout my childhood, I was safe, secure, felt loved, was taught right from wrong and attended church and Sunday school regularly. The values and attitudes that were taught in the church were modeled at home. The early focus on God and Christ became imprinted in my mind and became a solid part of my personality even as an adult.

“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income

I am very fortunate to come from a supportive and loving family of hard working individuals. My parents labored long hours to be able to provide rich, educational opportunities for their children. Although I am the first college graduate in my family, the value of education has always been highly regarded. The sacrifices that my parents have made to help me achieve my goals have instilled in me the motivation to give back to others. Of the many lessons I have learned in my life, none were more important than the lesson of self-sacrifice and helping others. This one lesson that has shaped who I am today was a simple statement by my dad: "You may have to sacrifice

My first fundamental value is loyalty. To me, loyalty means being true to your word, giving respect and providing a reliable support system. The roots of this value stem from the moment I was born. My mom, 20 and my dad, 22 were both overwhelmed with responsibilities as they handed me from my aunt, to uncle, to grandparent and sometimes, to the next-door neighbor. These individuals would watch over me while my parents went to work, school, and various other obligations. My family members sacrificed hours out of their lives, altered their schedules, and spent money to benefit my life and the lives of my parents. During my first few years on earth, my parents got married, received college degrees, and consistently put money in the bank, which they would not have been able to accomplish without the help of their family members.

The significance of understanding the concept of value, is that it helps us understand where our peers are coming from. For instance, a gay married couple may struggle with attitudes about their marriage from family members. However, when they examine their family members' values, they understand that the particular religion their family practices has a prohibitive and negative view of gay marriage. Understanding their family members' values and vice versa, may help this family get along. The interesting paradox with value is that although it is a deeply personal

I have learned through my life is that the most important or the meaning of life is the people in your life. There is no point of having a nice car or a house if there is not anyone to share it with. Play has taught me this lesson time and time again. The values that I have tried to keep and are a part of me are leadership, friends and family, grit, and God. Friends and family are the most important value in my opinion because no matter what happens to you in your life regardless of it being good or bad, your friends and family will always be there for you. Grit is defined as courage and unwavering determination. Grit helps determines what kind of life you want to lead. There is always pain and setbacks in life but this should never stop you. Leadership is important it is up to a person to help lead and help people determine what is right and wrong regardless of the consequences. God is very important in my life because I believe in a higher power and believe that he wants us to help other people achieve their highest potential. Working for me has taught me leadership, teamwork, and how to be a good person. Leadership that I have learned has shown me to always place the needs of your co workers and the customers ahead of yourself. This means your needs always come last and you need to complete the task or project on time and done

As a very young boy was taught many different values that I would use though out my life. As I got older some of those values that I was taught started to stick out as being most important to me the first that was previses mention was respect, my grandmother taught me that value of respect and not just respect for one other but respect for the environment we live and thrive in. said that in order for society to grow and have a bright future

I believe that it is important to actively live out a lifestyle that can be seen in Jesus’s teachings and the way he lived his life. I also look towards others who have a good grasp on what Christianity means. I am fortunate enough to have many friends and family who represent how you can live a life of following Jesus. Outside of these personal connections, two other prominent influences are the popular speakers and authors Bob Goff and Shane Claiborne. Bob Goff talks and writes about how “love does” and

As my ambitions become realities it is important I remain educated to not only ensure my “t’s” are crossed and my “i’s” are dotted, but it is also important for me be able to incorporate my own ideas when possible. Without being properly educated I will not be able to establish a firm basis in which to grow. Matthew 7: 24-27 speaks on having a solid foundation in which to build your life on. As one man built his house on a rock and the other built a duplicate home upon sand. The man whose home was built upon sand was washed away in the storm, while the man whose home was built upon the rock was able to withstand the storm (“King James Version,” 2012). With the proper education I will be able to form a foundation that will be able to withstand any storm, enabling me to rebound when needed. During this process it is important that I remain honest with myself and be able to accept other people’s honest opinions about me. Without honesty personal growth cannot occur and trust cannot be established. But remaining humble is of the most importance. With humility my mind will remain open to the thoughts, opinions, and outlooks of others. This allows for further growth, understanding, and continued blessings. With the incorporation of these values and principles in my upbringing, I have become the determined and independent person I am today. However, these values and principles would not stand so strong without the motivation and support of my family and friends.

God has put such significance and value in the creation of a human being. In no way does he take lightly or disregard human life when taken. He values and handcrafts all human life. In Ephesians 1:4 it says “He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world” (25) This further proves that He planned each and every creation ever made and expects them all to come to fruition when being born and living the life God wanted them to live. God explicitly and on many occasions’ talks about the importance and value of life. Psalm 139:13 “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” (26) God formed the inward parts and knitted his creation together, this detail and precision shows that how much work, time, and patience goes into all the stages of the baby before during and after its birth. God repeatedly shows in the bible that He loves all of his children and plans for them to be born. Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”(27) God knew the baby before it was born and there is no doubt that he wants to see the creation after it is born also.

I am forever grateful for the values my parents have instilled in me. They have helped me so much in life by teaching me that being an independent person means being responsible enough to do things on my own, but it is okay to rely on God. My father once told me, “When you do not know what to do, do what you know to do: pray,” and it is these wise words that have brought me through all the hard times. As a child my parents also taught me about the importance of church and community. We attended church regularly three times a week, and we were involved in any extra church activities as well. I have always loved going to church, but my parents struggled with where they felt God wanted to use them. Therefore, I have become attached to so many church families and then pulled away to join new ones. This was hard for me, but I also learned through it the importance of trying to follow God’s will.

Throughout your life, you began to realize the importance of many things that help you distinguish between right and wrong. Also, values can be learned or established from society, family, friends, and personal experience. Values guide the path you live. “Personal Values are the internal rudder by which you steer your life” (Harley-McClaskey, 2017, p.23). There are many values that individuals have, but here are five of my personal values: religion, honesty, family, teamwork, and happiness. So, therefore, you learn your values through what is important to the way you guide your life.

The more thought I put into it what my father said about working hard, the more his words impacted me as I headed no where good in life with the gains of peoples riches with malicious and unlawful acts.

At a conference this year I came across a quote that I found incredibly thought provoking which has influenced my thinking to day to day work ever since.

Parents. They are, indeed, God’s blessing. The blessing not everyone is blessed with, with some people leading up to be orphans or home-less. However, everyone is blessed with parents. While everyone may not have been able to meet their parents, but majority of us are blessed with wonderful parental units, in the form of ‘Moms’ and ‘Dads.’ Majority of the individuals want to turn up to be just like their parents, be it daughters willing to grow up to be like their moms or, sons willing to grow up to be like their dads. Same case may apply for the opposite gender. Parents are, in short, role models for their kids. They are a gateway of wisdom and sophisticated upbringing (for those who are blessed with wonderful parents).
