TWELVE RULES FOR LIVING

". . . living the good life which he prearranged . . . for us to live." Ephesians 2:10 (AMP)

Do you want to develop a healthier self-image? If so, here are twelve 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: 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee . . .' (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.
