Title: Being a Positive Influence Among Peers

Relatable icon: Joseph

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." 

Devotional

Joseph was a resilient dreamer in the Old Testament who overcame betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment with unwavering integrity and faith. His journey in fulfilling purpose started from when brothers disbelieving his uniqueness and out of envy sold him off to slavery. His life teaches us the power of resilience in adversity, the importance of maintaining our values in the face of temptation, and the transformative impact of forgiveness. 

Joseph's story is a beacon of hope, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, we can shine brightly as positive influences among our peers, inspiring others with our resilience, integrity, and capacity for forgiveness.

 As a teen, you carry that light with you wherever you go. But what kind of light are you shining among your peers? Are you radiating positivity, kindness, and encouragement? Or is your light dimmed by negativity and gossip?

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What are some qualities of positive influence?
• How can I demonstrate those qualities in my everyday interactions with peers?
• Can I think of a time when I was influenced positively by someone. What impact did it have on me?
• Are there any behaviours or attitudes I need to change to have more positive influence?

 Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

I am capable of being a positive influence among my peers.

I strive to lead by example, showing love, kindness, and integrity in all that I do.

Go colour the world. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow
