As I look back on different seasons of my life, I can clearly see how my values have shifted—sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly—as God continues to shape me into who He has called me to be.
In my younger years, I valued acceptance, success, and comfort. I chased what the world said mattered—good grades, praise from others, fitting in. And while none of those are wrong in themselves, they became the compass I used to measure my worth. But somewhere along the way, God gently began to rewrite my story—and with it, my values.
Through His Word, through hardship, through mentors and grace-filled moments, I began to learn what it meant to be rooted in Him. I started asking:
What does God value? What kind of person is He calling me to be?
The answers didn’t come overnight, but here’s what I’ve discovered so far:
1. God Calls Me to Value Faithfulness Over Fame
In a world obsessed with being seen, God reminds me that He honors what’s done in secret (Matthew 6:4). Faithfulness in the unseen—serving quietly, loving patiently, and obeying Him when no one’s watching—is far more valuable than public recognition.
2. God Calls Me to Value Integrity Over Image
Culture tells us to curate our lives for applause. But God calls us to walk in truth (Psalm 15:2). Integrity means my public life and private life match. It means I don’t just talk about love, grace, or holiness—I live it, even when it costs something.
3. God Calls Me to Value Compassion Over Comfort
Jesus didn’t stay where it was safe—He moved toward the hurting. And if I want to follow Him, I have to do the same. Compassion has challenged me to listen better, serve more willingly, and put others before myself. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.
4. God Calls Me to Value Purpose Over Passivity
I don’t want to drift through life. God has placed gifts, passions, and people in my path for a reason. Becoming who God calls me to be means living with intention, stepping into purpose, and trusting Him to lead—even when I feel unqualified.
Still Becoming…
I haven’t arrived. Some days I still wrestle with pride, fear, and distraction. But the good news is—God isn’t finished with me yet. Philippians 1:6 reminds me that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Becoming who God calls me to be isn’t about perfection. It’s about surrender. It’s about asking, each day:
“Lord, shape my values so they look more like Yours.”
And by His grace, He does.
Win The Day!
