God's ImitatorsSample

Build others up Satan is a liar. He's such a good liar too that God calls him the father of lies. So when he tells you that you aren't valuable, beautiful, smart, strong, or worth loving, Satan's a big fat liar. He also wants you to use your words the same way he does--to scheme, to lie, to put people down, to hurt others. That's because Satan is messed up, and he wants you to be just as warped as he is. What's great about being in God's family? You hear the truth. When God tells you that you are loved, special, priceless, and worth dying for, you know you can believe Him. That's because God is the Father of truth. He has never lied, and never will. The bad news is that some kids out there don't know who to listen to. So God asks you to join His team and let others know they are valuable. "Don't say anything that would hurt another person. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you" (Ephesians 4:29). You can practice building people up now: "You look nice today." "How may I help you?" "Hey, you look like you need a friend."
