Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right. – Proverbs 20:11 (NLT)
KNOWN BY THE WAY THEY ACT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Your actions speak louder than words
It reflects your view of the world
Even children are known by the way they act
Adult’s hearts are exposed by how they react.
If they are guided by what is lovely and true
Their conducts will be honorable and pure
If they believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior
They will be right in the eyes of their Creator.

The saying “Actions speak louder than words” is a fact that we need not ignore. A lot of relationship breakdown is caused by the conflict between what we say and what we do. If you declare that you love someone and never really have time to spend with that special person, you are contradicting your statements. We open the door to confusion and conflict when our actions do not jive with our words. It leads to confusion.
The bible says that even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure and whether it is right. When I was a Sunday School Minister, I knew the kids who were grew up in an environment where Christ is central. They are the ones who are pure and innocent. Their conduct display what they are exposed to.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to be a good model to children.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to let your thoughts be in unity with your actions?
