“A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit..” - Matthew 7:17 (NLT)

Hey Lightgliders!
After a recent Yonders mission, I was talking with Santiago in the courtyard about the Lightglider values. I want these values to deeply impact how I think, how I act, and how I behave.They are especially important to remember in times of uncertainty and pressure, like when I’m battling a Clampneck Machine in the Yonders!
A value is a principle that affects our decisions and behaviors. Most every family, community, and culture live by a set of values. Lightgliders seek to live with five values: purpose, humility, confidence, hope, and love. These values are inspired by story of God’s love for us revealed in the Bible.
• Purpose: Because God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27), our lives are valuable. They have purpose.
• Humility: No one is perfect; we all fall short of God’s standard of goodness (Romans 3:23). A deep understanding of this produces a life of humility.
• Confidence: Knowing that God loves us and that Jesus paid for our sins at the cross despite our shortcomings generates a strong sense of confidence (Ephesians 2:8-10). We can be confident because we are greatly loved by the only One who matters!
• Hope: Because the future is in God’s hands and He promises to restore the brokenness around us, we can always look ahead with hope believing that good things are coming. When we live with hope, we give hope to others (Romans 15:13).
• Love: With Jesus as our example, we seek to love. Such love is not a feeling. It is a choice that inspires actions that put the needs of others before our own (John 15:13). This is exactly what Jesus did at the cross!
Just like a good seed properly nourished helps to produce a beautiful tree, good values help to produce beautiful lives.
Glide On!
