Being a Person of Excellence and Integrity

If you will start taking care of what God has given you, He'll be more likely to give you something better.

You are made in the image of Almighty God, and how you present yourself in your personal appearance is not only a reflection of how you feel about yourself, it is a direct reflection on God.

People of excellence go the extra mile to do what's right, not because somebody's watching them, not because they have to, but because they are honoring God.

Whether you realize it or not, people are watching you.

God wants us to be people of integrity, people of honor, people who are trustworthy. A person of integrity is open and honest. He doesn't have any hidden agendas or ulterior motives. A person of integrity is true to his word. He keeps his commitments. He doesn't need a legal contract; his word is his bond. People of integrity are the same in private as they are in public. When you have integrity, you'll do what's right whether anybody is watching or not. Integrity is the foundation on which a truly successful life is built.

Understand this: If you lie about the little things, before long you'll lie about bigger things.

A person of integrity says what he means and means what he says. People should not have to try to figure out what you really meant. Be straightforward in your statements and conversations.

Make a decision that you are not going to live another day without the joy of the Lord in your life; without love, peace, and passion; without being excited about your life.

Quit looking at what's wrong and start thanking God for what's right. Get up each day expecting good things. Start expecting God's favor. Start expecting His blessings. Be excited about today. This could be the day things turn around. This could be the day you get your miracle. This could be the day you meet the person of your dreams. That's how you stay enthusiastic, even in tough times. You expect good things. You stay filled with hope.

Stay passionate about seeing your dreams come to pass. Stay on fire and aglow. Whatever you do, do it with enthusiasm!

We all want somebody who wants to love us, somebody with a willing heart, somebody who's enthusiastic about being around us.

God doesn't want you to drag through life defeated and depressed. No matter what you've been through, no matter whose fault it was, no matter how impossible your situation may look, the good news is that God wants to turn it around and restore everything that has been stolen from you. He wants to restore those broken dreams. He wants to restore your joy and give you a peace and happiness you've never known before. Most of all, He wants to restore your relationship with Him. God wants you to live a satisfied life.
