The Power of An Example

Someone influenced you to become the person you are today.

Maybe a teacher opened the door to a new world and helped shape your career. A family member lived in a way you had never seen, and you began to live the same way. A coach spoke truth into your life, and now you coach others. Maybe someone in the Church did more than teach you about Jesus—they showed you what faith looks like, and their example helped lead you to follow Jesus.

Someone influenced you by their example.

Whether you realize it or not, you are doing the same thing to others.

People are watching you, especially those younger than you. They are learning from how you live, how you respond to difficulty, how you treat people, and how seriously you take your faith.

You are leaving an example.

The question isn’t if you are leaving an example. The question is what kind of example are you leaving?
