Age is nothing but a number

Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, and purity. -1 Timothy 4:12 [New English Translation]

Let's just start by analyzing this verse. It starts off by saying to let no one look down on you because of your age. Be an example to the people of believe in everything you do. People are always going to have their eyes on you and they will speak of the good you do and the bad you do. It will always happen. My leader sent me that verse one day and it really spoke to me a lot. I'm a young person just 18 years of age and I've only walked with God for a year. It's not a lot but you see a change in my life. The way I communicate and express myself are completely different than they were before. I always try to be at my best because people are always watching. You need to be the change in this world. "You may ask yourself how can I change the world?" It is very simple. Pray to God for him to change you to his will. How he wants you to be. You have to let him mold you into the man or woman of God you're called too.

There is a person reading this right now that wants to give it all up but I tell you right now. Don't do it. It isn't worth it. Pay the price and sacrifice what you need to sacrifice. It may look tough now but you'll look back at it and laugh. You have people looking up to you and you don't even know it. Set them the example. No matter the age.

God will use anyone who is willing to let themselves be used by him. Don't belittle people and just because someone is young doesn't mean God won't use them in powerful ways. He can use kids just as he can use adults to do his will.
