To make the best use of our existence and the most out of living, we must pursue a value-driven living. Values define us and give our life a definite focus. Values are particular standards, attitudes, ideas and beliefs that affect how we operate or live our lives. Sometimes values are so in-built that we live them out without being conscious of them. Values are essential to effective living. They are the uncompromisable, undebatable truths that drive and direct behaviour. They are motivational, giving us the reason why we do things; and they are restrictive, placing boundaries around behaviour. We must develop value-driven behaviours. Our goal should be to completely integrate godly values into all spheres of life. God is the source of real and lasting values that will give our lives stability and true significance.
