Psalms 86:15. God provides us the best example when learning patience and long-suffering. He is a truly a God of patience. The Bible shows us ample examples of where God has shown His patience with His creation, mankind. In the Old Testament, the Israelites time and time again disobeyed God to worship other idols and to do what they thought best.

Good values come from God. The Bible teaches us that we must value God above everything else. Keeping ourselves in the love of God is the ultimate, good value. God is love and His love is what we should value above all things.

Romans 8:39. We are only separated from the love of God due to our own actions. We cannot blame our severed relationship with God on demonic forces, other people, our heritage, or our environment. If we are not in unity with God, we are separated from God because of our sin and disobedience to God.

A simple definition of conscience is that it is a conviction or being conscious of a custom. From a Christian perspective a conscience is all about having God's standard in our heart to guide us in how we conduct ourselves.

Have you ever been the recipient of a good deed? Maybe your car broke down on the side of the road, and a stranger stopped and helped you. Didn't unselfish acts like this stir you up to do good?

Genesis 29:30 Leah, the first wife of Jacob, did not do well with being dumped by her husband in favor of her sister Rachel. Leah had two problems. First, she never had her husband’s heart. Second, she did not seek God’s will for her life. She and her father, Laban, had tricked Jacob into marrying her and working for her father for seven years.
