Who was the most godly person you ever met? What was it about their lives that made you feel this way? Did they inspire and/or encourage to do anything?
If you had to give advice on how a Christian should behave based on this persons life, what would it be?

I would say my spiritual mommy died of breast cancer in 2004 she helped me through a deep dark time in my life and I am eternally grateful to the Lord.
The advice I would give would be to trust in the Lord and to be steadfast she loved the Lord in difficult times her husband is a non believer. I know she is with the Lord but she was not always well liked because she was honest and told the truth even if it hurt I felt safe and secure with her godly counsel. My hearts desire is to be a spiritual mom to a young woman the way I was ministered to as well.

When I was young, around 5, we lived in Illinois at the time. I had a babysitter that lived right next door.
We moved to Florida after that, but, I continued to visit them every summer vacation until I was twelve years old.
After that, I started going out into the world and lost sight of Jesus.
They planted a seed in me. They showed me what it was to be a family that loved God. They are what I wanted my family to be like when I got older.
They truly inspired me. Not only has my family taken on some of the same traditions they had, we even own the same type of dog they had.
They prayed together as a family. They showed loved to each other and others as well. The mother was the heart of the home....very loving and gentle. The father was so caring.
This was not something I grew up with in my own life.
I am truly thankful for that seed they planted! Praise God!!

My grandfather... he was so incredibly gentle. Actually when I think about the fruit of the Spirit (Love, joy peace patience, kindness, goodness, faith), he really matches all of those. He died when I was in 6th grade, but I am still constantly inspired by his kindness and strength and devotion.
I guess what I learned from him is that life can truly be good, even if it's difficult, even if you're poor, even with anything that comes your way. He was a great Grandpa :)

my brother
he is always happy in adversity
he is full of faith
faith is all he knows
he keeps going when everyone else falls down
he laughs when he should cry
he is an anchor in the storm
he refuses to allow anything to keep him from being happy
that is his choice
he has inspired me in so many ways
I know the word of God because he continually teaches me
all he learns and knows about the Kingdom of God
alway follow God
love God with all your heart and soul
have faith in God
stand steady and ready and stand strong in all things
love everyone, give all you can give and keep smiling
the rock will never move
only you

My cousin the minister. Not just because he's a minister. He truly cares and works very hard for his church, family and those around him but makes mistakes.
He's one of the few Christians I know that walk as they talk.

Believe it or not, it was a homeless man who had a doctorate degree in Education and who decided to put up or shut up. Or something like that, I don't remember exactly how he phrased it anymore.
