Young Ministry

Let no one despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Pay close attention to your life and your teaching; persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.
1 Timothy 4:12‭, ‬16 HCSB

I can imagine a young, inexperienced but zealous for God, man. This young man was well known and loved by Paul. Timothy's faithfulness, willingness and love for God made him endearing.

People are drawn to Christ in us not our expertise. Knowledge without love or joy is dry and crisp. Timothy would have had to lean heavily on God as he learned life and grew.

Submitting to the despising of others is not faith, no matter what age we are. If anything I am at the other end of the scale but having to walk in faith in what God has given me. Faith is where we are meant to dwell. Amen!
