You Are Not That Important-by Buife Nomeh 

"The Lord appeared from of old to me [Israel], saying, Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you." (Jeremiah 31:3, Amp.) 

The author of a book I read late last year wrote that he'd built the habit of constantly reminding himself that he was not that important or special enough for God to break His words or promises in and for his life. Now, that's eye-popping!

The Word of God says that God hates sin (Proverbs 6:16-19); yes, including that lie you told yesterday or the anger you felt this
morning, but He loves you. Let me repeat. God hates the sin we commit, but He loves us. Despite the fact that God loves us, He cannot and will not condone our sins!

We are not that important for God to break His heart of everlasting love for us nor are we special enough for Him to begin to "have a thing" for sin because it is we (whom He loves) who commit them. No. There is a "balance" though.
"If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]." (I John 1:9,Amp.)

Objectivity – Changing Habits

The nature of the entrepreneur will put you in unprecedented situations constantly Past experiences; - most of the decisions we make on a daily basis are based upon our previous experiences. The reactive observation, “That looks off - I was hurt once - don’t touch it.” This is really a rather simplistic decision to a situation. The idea of understanding, evaluating and deciding our decision making process, is quite possibly one of the most effective, yet difficult things to do. We are always being confronted with decisions, both big and small. These decisions usually carry with them some sort of emotional process that is important to us as individuals and are like an emotional compass that helps our decision process. We need to cultivate a discipline for making good decisions that seem contrary to our emotions or our initial thoughts based on past experience and feelings. Sometimes though, I find myself so far out of my comfort zone that I don’t know what to do and with no prior experi...

We remember those who fought for our freedom

Australian troops at Milne Bay World War 2 - Papuan campaign We remember those who fought for our freedom Australian forces defeated the Japanese attempt to capture the strategic Milne Bay area in August 1942.

This was the first notable Japanese land defeat and raised Allied morale across the Pacific Theatre.

BELIEFS

If we want to understand what we believe we need only to look at what we are involved in. I know that amongst successful business people they talk about things like leadership, innovation, persistence and longevity. I know that all of these are important and I feel and speak passionately about these things often. How ever to achieve in any of these areas it is our beliefs that will set our values and our character will be the example of theses. We all believe something – what we believe is important to success. Belief is not a gift – it is learned from others – it is something we can teach others. We can give someone a dollar, but it soon will be spent and be in the pocket of another. Teach someone something valuable they can believe and they set a value they can use to reproduce that dollar. We can give presents, compliments, advice and embrace one another in moments of despair. But to teach another a right belief is a commodity for which time passed, or circumstance can never take aw...
