A Window Into My Heart

A little encouragement

Think about it………

 

 “Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of (to) those who believe.” 1 Timothy 4:12

 

 

Wow! That is a very powerful verse that is still completely applicable today. There are 5 ways in which we are to be an example to other believers. In our speech---if our speech was the standard for everyone, then how would the world be talking? In our conduct---how do we conduct ourselves in public or at home? Is there any difference? What if the world took our lead and followed our conduct, would it be a better place? In love---do you have the overflowing love of Christ abounding in you?  Is it unselfish  or dependant on the circumstances? In faith---do you have your own faith? Is it real? Is it living? Is it active? In purity---are we allowing ourselves to be stained by this sinful, wicked culture we live in or constantly being purified by gazing intently on the face of our LORD? We all are examples whether we want to be or not. The question remains, what kind of examples will we be?  Let no one look down on your youthfulness!  Just because we’re young doesn’t mean we can’t be shining examples for the LORD! Let’s go change our world!

 

Because of Grace,

...we have to be careful with this verse. So many teens use it to promote their freedom and rebellion. It's a high standard as you illustrated, not a ticket to the world of rock and roll. ;)

Still waiting to hear from you about tomorrow...soooo hope you can come!!! PWEEEZE?? =P

As I read this, I was struck with the WWJD that everyone was using not that long ago...but really,
how would we live, react, be if Jesus was right
beside us? He is with us always, He knows and sees the hiden parts of our lives that we think no one knows...may we be found living for Him with all passion and obedience so that He can receive the glory due Him!!!! I loved your encouragement for the
youth of today, may it also be said of their parents...
that we live holy devoted to Him!!
Love ya, CAT

About Me

Hi! I'm Maiden Princess. I'm so glad that you found my blog. A Window Into My Heart was created for the sole purpose of encouraging and building up the body of the LORD. As you read my blog you will get a glimpse into my heart and life, but mainly I will share with you my passion for YHWH and living according to His principles. I will hopefully encourage and challenge you to go deeper in your walk with the LORD. I have a burden to see this generation of young adults walk uprightly, justly, mightily in the strength of the LORD our God and clothed in His weapons. This blog is where the thoughts of my heart become the words you read. May you enjoy and be edified by what you hear and see. May our lives glorify Him in all we do!
