God Loves You!
Did you know that you're worth more than all the diamonds, gold or money in all the world to God? He loves us all so much that it is virtually impossible to imagine just how much he loves the ones He created.

ABC’s of Divine Guidance
Author Unknown
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
X-alting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.”

HOW TO BE A GODLY EMPLOYEE (Author Unknown)
TRUST IN GOD ONLY.
Trust in no one but GOD. People will disappoint you. God created you and has a wonderful plan for your life. He is too good to do wrong, and too wise to make a mistake. Let His peace abide in you. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
WORSHIP GOD ONLY.
Don't make your career, your company, or your boss a god. If you do, you will provoke Him to jealously and will end up fighting Him. In fact, He may hinder you from achieving what you want until you are broken of the idolatry.
(Exodus 20:5)
USE GOD'S NAME REVERENTLY.
Don't swear! Clean words come out of a clean heart! If your co-workers know that you are a Christian, but they hear the Lord's Name used in vain, or cursing and swearing from your mouth, you will give the appearance of being a hypocrite.
(Matthew 15:17-19)
WORK SIX DAYS AND REST ON THE SEVENTH.
Before you beg for more vacation time, ask yourself a few questions, "Do you honour the Sabbath?" God has already given you 52 days of time off that equates to seven weeks. "Are your expectations for work, vacation, and retirement realistic?" By resting one day a week, you can avoid burnout.
(Genesis 3:17-19)
RESPECT AND OBEY YOUR BOSS.
You should respect and obey your boss, because you don't know what it's like to be in their shoes. Plus, your Ultimate Boss is the Lord. Serve Him faithfully on the job, and He will bless you. However, if your boss commands you to do something illegal or immoral, you must make a stand and obey God rather than man.
(Ephesians 6:5-8)
PROTECT AND RESPECT HUMAN LIFE.
Emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual manipulation, abuses and violence have no place in the workplace...or any place. You do not have the right to use and abuse your boss, co-workers, employees, customers, or suppliers.
(1 Thessalonians 3:1-2)
BE TRUE TO YOUR SPOUSE.
If you are not getting the kind of attention that you feel you deserve at home, it's common to seek it with someone at work. Honour your wedding vows by avoiding company romances! They are very tempting, very real, and very common. They are also very wrong and very destructive.
(Matthew 19:8-9)
DO NOT TAKE WHAT BELONGS TO OTHERS.
Stealing at work can take many forms. You can choose to steal materials, money, time, productivity, and joy from your employer and others. Do not remove your integrity by stealing.
(II Corinthians 7:1-2)
DO NOT LIE ABOUT OTHERS.
Do not fabricate stories about your boss, co-workers, and spread gossip for the sake of company politics. You are here to be the salt and the light, not the pepper and the darkness! Truth always rises to the surface, and eventually you will be ashamed and rebuked if you lie.
(1Peter
BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
Contentment doesn't mean that you cannot pursue God-given goals, but it does mean that you are content with what He has provided you with, day after day. Contentment is a rare quality in today's culture, but it is extremely liberating! Materialism, striving for rank, backstabbing, and discontent lead to emotional, mental, financial, and spiritual.
(I Timothy 6:6-11)
