300+ Bill of Rights I Live By
A long time ago, back in maybe 2018, I was sick of my life not going in the direction I wanted it to. My biggest enemy against me, was me. One day, I accepted accountability for my actions, so I decided to change my self destructive habits and replace them with new life-changing ones. I decided I wanted to stop sabatoging my future self. So I made a plan to put my Creator in the center of my life. I decided to do live with him. Live my life for him. Take the life he gave me and flourish in it through him. I credit most of my life changes the day I started to document it. I called it my Bill of Rights. It was my rights to live my life using Godly wisdom found in Scripture and earhtly wisdom found in the writings of other entrepreneurs and Christian authors. I started to find balance in my life. I started to grow in wisdom with God and man, like Joseph, Daniel and Job. Shortly thereafter, I became a Pastor and a Missionary, all because I changed my ways. You don't need to follow my Bill of Rights. Make up your own. Or, don't. Just remember, the only person accountable for your life... is you.
1. May nothing rule in me, but the life, which stands in the Lord Jesus Christ.

19. You don’t have to save the world!! Just do “something”.

22. He examines our Compassion on how we love others.
23. Are we truly religious? James 1:5
24. Compassionate Permanence is distinguished by two words: COMPASSION means coming along side people in pain, in an effort to serve or empathize or relieve the suffering.

127. When TRAVELING on a trip, request Angels to be put at the front of your car and guide you. Protect you. Believe in them. Then ask, “Would the Kingdom of Heaven suffer a loss if I died?” The answer should be YES. If it is not, maybe you won’t make it to your destination. :)

That type of redemption only comes thru the Son’s sacrifice on that old rugged cross. Remember that. Love him. Love what he loves. Go where he goes. Listen when he speaks. Obey him.
134. At the end of each day give thanks from the bottom of your heart, for everything you have and “don’t have” comes from above. From the FATHER OF LIGHTS. Amen.
135. Climb your own Mountain. Let others climb there’s. People may join you but you and them both need to learn to climb on your own. Climb it with God. Pick a big one. When you get to the top of you will be so grateful you will probably want to go find another one
136. Understand that to everyone that has been given much, much will be demanded. Luke 12:48. Don’t be afraid of this warning. Respect it. Everything you have was meant to be enjoyed with Christ. There-in lies the safety of such a great responsibility
137. Grow in Christ and again I say, Grow in Christ. Grow in him and through him, by him and for him, so that in everything he may have the pre-eminence, the glory.
