1 Timothy 2:12 ~ Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
This verse has been on my heart a lot lately, as some things have come up where I feel like adults are looking down on me. Paul wrote this verse to Timothy as he was preparing to minister to others. Paul knew Timothy would be considered young, and he wanted to encourage him to let no one look down on him.
I have always striven to set a good example, especially because I'm an oldest child. I must confess, it's gets on my nerves when adults look down on me but I'm feeling like I'm doing what God wants me to be doing.
So, I just wanted to encourage y'all to always try to do what God wants, even if adults do misunderstand your actions. Don't compromise just because you're young. Remember, David killed Goliath when he was 12!
P.S. Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris has some really great points about this!
