1. Choose Things of Value: Are You Too Cool?
Here is an attitude based on a “me first” value that you might recognize, along with a heavenly value to replace it with!
“Me First” Value:
I prefer to only be friends with those who
are interested in the same things as me or
who I think are smart or who have things
that are cool.
To me, some of my peers are boring,
are not as smart as me,
I made a
motor! From
toothpicks!!
I just
learned a
song!
How
boring.
are not good at playing my
favorite game,
and can be bothersome when they
want me to do something with
them that I'm not interested in.
How
dumb.
Let's
do some
puzzles!

2. Heavenly value:
It’s only natural to feel this way. But Jesus judges the value of others on what He has created
them to be and the characteristics that He has given to them, which mean a lot more than their
outward appearance or the toys and gadgets they might or might not possess.
Ooooo niiiice!
Each person has hidden talent and special value that makes him or her great. If you ask Jesus to
see people as He does, you might be surprised to see these secret qualities that He has placed
within them. And believe it or not, when you look for the potential and positive in people, you’ll
be happily surprised to see that others have plenty to offer you, even things you wouldn’t have
noticed first off.
Bring others into your friendships, get to know others better, and you’ll be adding more color to
your world.
