Be An Example

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.  1 Timothy 4:12 KJV 

Youth,  a time in our lives when one is young.

The stage in life between childhood and the maturing to adulthood.

The calling of our youthfulness is simply to renew, refresh and maintain the characteristics and knowledge of our culture.

To maintain all the good values with and in those who have the same beliefs and practices.

Spiritually, youth is not always a stage of physical growth.

It is our ability to continue to mature, renew, refresh and maintain the characteristics and knowledge that the Lord has instilled in us.

Letting our ways be prime examples of God’s love for us, the love we have for Him, demonstrated when we live according to the Word.

As believers, we demonstrate this in the words we speak and the conversations we have.

Being mindful of who we are and what we do.

Cheerfully giving out of faith and love.

Remembering that there is always someone looking at us.

Let us continue to live in such a way that those who are following our examples will be helped in their walk with the Lord.

A WORD OF PRAYER

 Lord, You have always been our prime example.  The Word is our guide. Let us continue to follow Your examples and draw others to You. 

In Jesus name we pray, Amen
