- I Tim. 4:14-16 (NLT) 14Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you.15Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress.16Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.
- I Tim. 4:12 (NLT) Donít let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
- Availability
- Mark 1:35-37 (NLT) 35Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.36Later Simon and the others went out to find him.†37When they found him, they said, Everyone is looking for you.
- Modeling
- Mark 10:45 (NAS) For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
- I Thess. 5:14 (NLT) Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.
- Love
- I Thess. 2:7-8 (NLT) 7As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.8We loved you so much that we shared with you not only Godís Good News but our own lives, too.
