"You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled." Titus 2:1-6The Word tells us to invest in others. To come along side them and encourage them and teach them. Who have you invested in recently? A daughter? Neighbor? Co-worker? Who can you lead to Christ by the example of your Godly life? Who has invested in your life? Take a moment to thank them and pray for them.
We were not meant to do this life alone. We all need encouragement. Reach out.
Sweet Blessings~

Wonderful thoughts here Jenifer. It makes me think about how I am influencing others, and how thankful I am to those who influence me.

ReplyDeleteA college girl came to me a few weeks ago and asked me to mentor her? I don't know why that scared me. I have mentored before. This girl is so strong and passionate and mature, I told her she should be mentoring me, lol! She said no to that so I said yes to her. Please pray for us! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet thoughts.
ReplyDeleteJenifer, I feel like the Lord is asking me to me much more faithful for praying for my family who still does not not Christ. I have become weary. Thanks for this.
