This Chapter has A LOT of things to learn from. It has to do with focusing not on "earthly things" which is hard as a teenager, but to focus on "above." It also mentions how when we receive Christ we are to behave differently. I like to think "The world's 'normal' is not my normal." Christ changes our life completely! Our hearts, our thoughts and we are no longer the same. We do not behave like we used to. God renews us completely. It is interesting how being kind, forgiving, humble, patient, and many other virtues start with love. God is love, so if we love God, we behave how God wants us to naturally. And it also caught my attention how it mentions to do everything for God, to please Him! This is haard for me. I have heard this sooo many times, but laziness takes over. I want to keep this in mind and actually take it seriously this year. I want to do my best at everything how God would want me to. I am 100% sure that if I REALLY did everything like for Christ, I would be doing so much better. I want to give excellency to God, not just mediocre. This applies to all aspects of life.
