Have you ever thought about what you and others value? I know I have on many occasions and what I value others do not. Does this make me right and them wrong, know just different.
You may be wondering what do you value?
- Life
- Family
- Love
- Doing the right thing
- Freedom
- Honor
- Integrity
- Fairness
- Equality
- Paying attention to your surroundings
- Helping others when you can
- Putting others before yourself
- Working hard
Yes the list could go on and on, but others do not hold the same values I do and this is where conflicts come in. When anyone of the things you value is not what others value, that will cause and issue
So what does God value? Well read the Bible, but I will give a short description of the things I think He values:
- Obedience
- Accepting His Son
- Obeying His commands
- Love
- Sacrificing your life for others
- You and your salvation
To me the most important of all of the things God values, is each one of us. This does not mean He is always happy with our choices and it does not mean He will not punish us, but I firmly believe He values us the most.
What do you value? Not sure, then ask God for help. Value what you think are the wrong things, ask God for help.
