11. PEOPLE MAY DOUBT WHAT YOU SAY,
BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT
YOU DO.
Matthew
12:33 (NIV) says
“Make
a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its
fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.”
12. A PROFESSIONAL IS SOMEONE WHO
CAN DO
HIS/HER BEST WHEN HE/SHE DOESN’T
FEEL LIKE IT.
1
Corinthians 9:25 (NIV) says
“Everyone
who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to
get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will
last forever.”
13. PEOPLE WHO FLY INTO A RAGE
ALWAYS MAKE A BAD LANDING.
Proverbs
19:11 (NIV) says
“A
person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook
an offense.”
14. OBSTACLES ARE THOSE FRIGHTFUL
THINGS
YOU SEE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF
THE GOAL.
Matthew
14:29-31 (NIV) says
“‘Come,’
he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water
and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and,
beginning to sink, cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’
Immediately
Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’
he said, ‘why did you doubt?’”

RESPONSIBILITY.

OUR CONDUCT DOES NOT REVEAL.

“A
good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an
evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”
17. TO KNOW THE WILL OF GOD IS THE
GREATEST KNOWLEDGE,
TO FIND THE WILL OF GOD IS THE
GREATEST DISCOVERY,
AND TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IS THE
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT.
John
12:26 (NIV) says
“Whoever
serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.

RETRACT.

DURING THE TIME THAT OTHERS WASTE.
