"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee."
1 Timothy 4:12-16
I like the idea here of being a good example, and learning from the gifts of God and also reading and meditating on the word of God. I also like that it isn't just for us, but our examples can help others as well, as they see us growing up and changing into better people. :) Today, let's work on being good examples, not in a prideful way, but in a humble and loving way, lifting up and helping not only ourselves, but the people around us.
