I would like to dedicate this book to my son Donnell for his patience, even when he didn’t understand. I’d like to honor the memory of my deceased sons Kerron Hunt and Jeremy Hunt.

SESSION 1

Lifestyle Enrichment

LIFESTYLE ENRICHMENT

It is vital that we as individuals strive to develop healthy perspectives about ourselves and others. It is essential that we know who we are and who’s we are. Once we learn that we are made by God and that God loves us and knows everything about us, we are in a position to receive what God says about us and not what others say about us and begin to renew our thinking.

We must learn the truth about ourselves and embrace that truth to help shape our perspectives and ultimately change our actions for the better.

After learning the truth about whom we are and whose we are, we must believe it and begin to live like we believe it. One of our major goals should be to learn God’s love and execute that love toward ourselves and others to experience life on a prosperous level. When we love God, in that connection with God we become filled with God’s love; this love enables us to love others.

To conquer any feelings and issues that may have led us to this point we must analyze our actions and the reasons for our actions and begin to embrace a healthy perspective about ourselves and face any issue that would stop us from moving forward so we can begin to heal and start afresh. Let us begin by thoroughly and honestly acknowledging our issues, hurts and pains and vigorously embracing the road to healing.

Foundational Scriptures: John 8:32, Romans 12:2, 1Corinthianas 13, 4-8

And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.

Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act becomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to and end].

Love: (Greek) agape, divine love, A strong, ardent, tender, compassionate, devotion to the well-being of someone.
