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 (1Timothy 4:12).

 Thought For Today

Someone said that the reason morality is on such a huge decline in every country is because the people are electing and appointing men and women to leadership positions who have a tarnished character.

 Another writer said, "when you die and the funeral service has concluded the only thing that the mourners will take home with them is the memory of your character." 

The truth is; can bury you, but they can’t bury your character. Who you are and how you lived your life will always be around. What are people going to say about you when you die?  

How is your character today? Do you conduct self examinations to ensure your character isn’t being tarnished? Do you care what people think?Do you care what Jesus thinks?

Paul told Timothy to be an example because he knew that being a Christian carries a price tag. Jesus was the greatest example of character that ever lived.  

Paul wrote, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1).  

Is Jesus your example today?  

If so, then allow His character to flow into you and you will leave a great legacy for others to follow and talk about after you are gone.
