Lesson 4
(Note: A downloadable PDF copy of this lesson is available on the last page.)
YOUR DAILY TASKS BUILD RESPECT–OR TEAR IT DOWN
One part of your life that either builds self-respect or tears it down is behavior—the choices you make.
Everyone is involved in a multitude of choices every day. Your self-respect depends on the quality of your performance.
You do your best.
You do poorly.
You do it right.
You mess it up.
You do what is required.
You cheat.
You follow instructions.
You disobey.
You give it all you’ve got.
You do it half-heartedly.
You keep your agreements.
You go back on your word.
These and more are choices you make day after day, according to the principles that guide you. The Bible gives you a central reference point:
“He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me … (John 14:21).
