So I know my post have been quite me focused lately, and I
promise my next post will be Romans 6, because honestly…we should have already
been done with Romans. I am slacking. But I have challenged myself this week to
post Everyday! For this week…
Anyways, this post is about something that has kind of been
on my heart lately…it’s about being young. About being so busy with trying to
figure out what we are supposed to do that we don’t take time to figure out
what God wants us to do. I feel like the idea of Gods plan for us has been
following me around. It has been a topic within the youth group I am a leader
at, Temper, it was in Sara Bartons post (if you don’t know what I am talking
about go check out my last post), even in the new song "Wake Me Up" by Avicci. It has just been
lingering around me all week.
The verse that stands out to me when I think of young (life span wise) Christians is...
Timothy 4:12 – Don’t let anyone look down on you
because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith and in purity.
I love this verse! “Don’t let anyone look down on you” as a
Christian and a kid I really never appreciated people looking down on me, and
now as an older kid I still don’t and try not to do it to others. I feel as though we can all learn so much
from each other. I know for a fact that the junior high students at Temper have
taught me a ton, and have heard the same from other leaders in the group. Next,
“set an example.” I know this is cheesy, but…be the change you want to see in
the world. When you want more people to come to Christ be their light. If you
want your parents or family to stop fighting, use Gods peace. Let others see
what you are and make them want to be like you. We need to use the gifts God
gives us the way He intended them to be used: in speech, conduct, Love, Faith,
and purity. I feel like love is the most
important thing here, because sometimes all someone needs is someone else…an
example.
