1.) Be a good example for other youth.
-
As a Christian youth, lead by example. That means following Christian teachings. Everything you do in your life should reflect the goodness of God.
-
Show positivity, smile, and do good works. Don’t talk behind other people’s backs. Be kind to all people, including those who aren’t popular.
-
Be a leader. Don’t participate or laugh at sinful subjects. Just walk away.
2.) Be patient and kind.
-
Love others and be willing to help them. Don’t let ego and status stop you from treating others properly.
-
Don't be close minded. Love all people of all religions, races, sexual orientations, and beliefs. Don't swear or speak about inappropriate things, or make intolerant statements. You can't make a positive difference if you are cursing or making dirty jokes. Be respectful, honorable, and pure.
-
Be humble, kind, patient, and respectful when engaging with non-Christians.
3.) Reach out to people who are shunned by others.
-
Jesus showed love to people who were treated negatively by others. Never give up on someone, and especially never give up on God, in the good times and the bad.
-
You will encounter islands in school and other settings. Step up and be a bridge, which means stepping out of your comfort zone.
-
You can sit with someone who sits alone at lunch and just be a friend. Or you could lend a listening ear to them. Building a personal relationship is a great first step to leading someone to Christ.
-
Remember that all people are God's creation and deserve a chance to be understood.
4.) Be able to take rejection or loss with grace.
-
You should be happy to do the good deeds you do. However, it can be more challenging to show a positive attitude when you are rejected or otherwise face negativity in your life.
-
When confronted about your beliefs, don't freak out. Remember that everyone has a different story as to how they became a Christian.
-
Turn the other cheek. If someone is rude to you or cruel, show them forgiveness and love. Forgiveness is a Christian trait. If someone’s hurt you, find a way to forgive.
-
When you fall, forgive yourself too, and pick yourself back up and try again. What matters to God is how many times you stand up.
Strive to grow in a positive way. You are unique, you have your own gifts, talents, strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes. Grow the positive aspects of your personality.
