Principles To Take Heart

Our Manner Of Living Everyday Is A Mirror Of What is in our Hearts.

Principle #1: Acknowledge God As The Source And Center Of Everything

WE MUST HAVE A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BY BELIEVING AND RECEIVING CHRIST IN OUR HEARTS AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.THEN WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO ABIDE(STAY,DWELL) IN HIM.
      We Do Not Have The Ability To Genuinely Change And Have A Progressive GODLY Character. Therefore.We Must Understand That GOD MUST BE THE CENTER Of Our Journey And We Must BE AT THE CENTER OF HIS WILL.

Principle # 2: Character Development
Ptr. Rick Warren  In His Book Purpose Driven Life Said That God's Ultimate Goal For Life On Earth Is Not Comfort, But CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
OUR PART Now Is To Choose Whether We Want To Develop A Good And Pleasing Character In Us. God Gave Man Freedom To CHOOSE. Therefore, We Cannot Blame Other For Our Bad Attitudes And Character.The Choice Is Ours. People Around Us Can Always Influence Us But Still The Choice Is Ours Whether Or Not We Will Receive Such Influence To Sink Down Into The Deepest Part Of Our HEARTS.

In Understanding This Principle Better Of Not Putting Blame On Others For Who We Are, We Have To Understand Also The " MYSELF FIRST PRINCIPLE". This Principle Is Clearly Explained In Matthew 7:3-5

We Must Focus First on Checking Our Own Choices, Reactions, And Character, Instead Of Putting Blame On Others. Blaming Others For Who We Are Is A Bad Attitude That Will Eventually Put Us Down To A Bad Character Ground.





      Life Is A Choice. Everyday We Face Choices, We Choose On How We React On Certain Issues. We Choose Whether We Face The Day With Joy. We Choose Whether We Allow Our Past To Ruin Us.

Take Note:
WHO WE ARE TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THE CHOICES WE MADE IN THE PAST. MOREOVER, OUR DECISION TODAY WILL DETERMINES WHO WE ARE TOMORROW. THEREFORE, IF WE WANT A GOOD CHARACTER TOMORROW WE MUST CHOOSE TO DEVELOP A GOOD CHARACTER TODAY. IT IS OUR CHOICE.
