Actions speak louder than words

Parents are good at telling children what not to do. Their directives are continuously repeated while most Children forget or tune them out. As Christians, parents, teachers and leaders we expect people to adhere to our demands. But we forget the most important principle, lead by example.   

Children/people observe everything. We say one thing yet doing the opposite. 

Jesus always led by example. His most memorable moment was washing the disciples feet - he led by example (Jhn 13:5-6). In all things be cognizant of what you say and what you do. If you want someone to change, live by Jesus’ example. Actions speak louder than words.
