I recently read these seven goals for living a Christian life.

1. Put God first in everything.
2. Make prayer a daily breath.
3. Read a passage of God’s word each day.
4. Walk by faith, not by sight.
5. Trust the Lord with all your heart.
6. Focus on Jesus, not the world.
7. Always believe in God’s plan.

I would like to add a few of my own thoughts to this list.  I try to practice these ideals, but  I’m not always successful and I need to work on them more in my life as a Christian.

1. Follow Jesus’ examples of kindness, forgiveness and humility.
2. Live with integrity by being honest in your words and actions.
3. Help others in need through acts of service and generosity.
4. Thank God for your blessings big and small.

 I have decided to turn this into a daily reminder and checklist to keep myself on task. Whether you are a new believer in Christ or a seasoned one, this is a helpful way to live your life as a Christian.

Remember God loves you unconditionally every day of your life.  Thanks be to God!
