How Can I Glorify the Lord this School Year?

Who’s excited to go back to school?! This should be an exciting time for everyone. I can still remember the eagerness, Iooking forward in seeing my buddies again after the long summer vacation. For our new university students, I can still remember my first day! Oh man that was a long time ago but I can vividly remember the feeling of excitement and fear at the same time while I was entering the university the first time. That was a start of a new chapter in my life. New teachers, new friends, new school, everything is new and honestly new can be scary sometimes. Take it from me though, it’s going to be fun! I actually met my wife the during the first day of university, so yeah everything will be fine. Unforgettable memories will start today for you guys. 
No matter how you felt today at school, I hope that you never forget that you are still followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. As full time ambassadors of Christ in our respective schools, this should be the question in our hearts: “How Can I Glorify the Lord this School Year?”
An amazing reminder God has placed in my heart over the weekend is that we can glorify the Lord in anything we do. A missionary who goes to Japan and a janitor who mops the floor can equally give glory to God in their specific work.
“1 Corinthians 10:31 - Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
So how can we specifically give God the glory in school? It’s when you do your best and lift everything you do to Christ. For instance, when you live with integrity and honesty, when you don’t compromise your faith, when you don’t join gossips, but rather love people (even the unlovable ones), you glorify God. We are to be set apart from the world and the greatest way for people to see the Lord in you is when they see you happy doing the right things because you choose to obey God.
This school year guys, let’s honor the Lord. Let’s be set apart from the world. Let’s show them how amazing it is when our lives revolve around God.

(1) WHY DO PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO SMOKING? It all starts with one try, "YB" and when we love the feeling, we're convinced that it is a source of SATISFACTION. However, when our level of satisfaction dwindles, we crave for the feeling once again, which causes us to further with the addiction. We tend to depend on it like OXYGEN. Cheers to non smokers! And more cheers to quitters! Why do we seek for things that will give us satisfaction that's merely fleeting, and surely leads to nothingness? What's sad is that even if we know it, WE DO IT. (2) THE SAME CYCLE GOES OUT FOR WEIGHTY THINGS such as drugs, alcohol and sex. These are things that are terribly OVERINDULGENT that once people fall into it, a cycle of search, satisfaction and emptiness is formed. What's more, when an addiction can no longer supply us with the level of satisfaction we yearn for, we move on to our next FLEETING FANCY, not knowing how further damaging it is to us, and to t...

Smile

I worked for some time in a coffee shop. On my first day behind the cash register, my boss just told me to do two things, “say thank you and SMILE” I’m good in following orders so that’s what I did throughout my shift. At the end of my shift my boss told me that people felt good because of my smile! According to them it was warm and welcoming. Since then I would always smile when faced with a customer. To smile is the simplest yet amazing thing you could do. Actually it’s one of the best things you could do for people as well. Smiling at them will make them feel good. It could make a stranger's day. It’s free and it feels good. What are your reasons to smile? I’ve come up with a list on reasons for me to smile right now. Knowing that my favorite hero “Wolverine” is Canadian Knowing that the movie “The Avengers” is almost out Knowing that I’ll be reunited with my family again Knowing that I have awesome friends all around the planet Just thinking of how wo...
