1 Timothy 4:12

1 Timothy 4:12
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.

I'm limiting myself to only 15 minutes to do this post, so forgive me for my briefness. :)

How often do we read these words of Paul and take them to heart to mean that we are supposed to be bold to those who are older than us? And then how often do we miss the message he also meant, to not look down on those younger than us? We are supposed to allow ourselves to be 'iron sharpening iron' by speaking truth to those older than us, but we're supposed to also be open to the truths spoken TO us by those younger than us.

How are you doing this in your walk with God and fellowship with other believers?
