Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:
“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled.”
(Titus 2:6)
Of course, all of us need to be self-controlled, Jesus
not just young men
but also young women, older women, older men.
Perhaps that’s because it’s harder for a young man to learn…
not to mention so very important.
I love the word, “encourage,” though!
Not simply a gruff command
but using words that explain
offer helpful examples
give incentive
inspire hope
letting these young men know:
They can do this!
…and so can I.
