This verse has always been a favorite of mine, as it is a great encouragement from God's Word to be an example by the way you live. I think it is really hard to be a kid who has faith and shows it in the hallways of our public schools today. This is a great reminder that it is okay to stay strong in your faith and beliefs. You don't have to experience the bad choices that are out there to know that there is a better choice. You can choose to make the better choice to be true to who you are. It is okay to be kind in an unkind world. It is okay to walk in love. It is okay to have a strong faith. It is okay to stay pure.
I think it also means that just because you don't have the years of walking in faith as adults do, it doesn't mean that you faith is less because of that. If you live your life with a strong belief, are pure in heart, speak kindness, and love then there is power in that. And aren't we suppose to have the faith of a child?
"Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example
to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love,
your faith, and your purity." 1 Timothy 4:12Stay pure. It's okay to not follow the crowd! In fact, that is what He wants us to do. Encourage those kids who are out there trying to live their faith. Help them to be an example to others.
