| Is the reaction that you get from people, the reaction that you deserve?? |

4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. So many young people use the first part of this, but do they actually read it all the way through?? You know, you think in your mind " Yeah, dont look down on me because Im young, Im strong in what I believe just like the next person." But the question leading is... Do you follow through with what you believe? Thats where Im at right now, and Im almost sure that other people are dealing with it too. The latter part of the scripture says, to be an example to those who believe... That's where we come in... We have a job, and it is to make sure that the older generations have NO REASON to despise us. The final part of the scripture says to be an example in what you say, the way you live, in love, faith, and in purity... Thats where the rubber meets the fan. We have to go the extra mile to let our fruits show. The words that come out of our mouths need to be uplifting and encouraging... The way we live should shine a light for all to see... We should love on each and every person we meet, because God is love and we are made in His image... Our faith should be so strong that you have Non believers asking you to pray for them... And be pure. Thats the biggest one. The world is the way it is, but we are IN the world...not of the world. If you take a stand, so will the people that follow behind you... then we can change the world for the better, one pure person at a time :-) . Now, dont get me wrong... Im not perfect. I deal with these things just like the next person, but Im working on it.... Hope you will too. |
