Is Our Example Powerful?

People notice what we do, what we say, how we act.

We have heard the saying, "Our actions speak louder than words." I believe this. I also think that some of the most beautiful teachings are done by example not words. How we live our lives in our homes, at work, in our car, at restaurants, what we post on Facebook, are all examples of who we are. Our children and our grandchildren are watching, our family and friends are watching, and God is watching. We are setting an example in everything we do whether we think so or not and it is up to us as to what kind of example. 

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Is our example powerful?  Is it shaping another person's life? Are we reflecting Christ in all we do?

Love in Christ,
