1 Timothy 4:12; "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."
I think sometimes our youth are looked down on because of their attitude, immaturities, and just simply put...they are youth. Paul is telling Timothy in this verse not to let others despise him because of his youth but to be an example. To walk and talk with respect and love to others.
It is our place as parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends to shape and to teach our youth these traits. We have to teach them about Christ, Who HE is, His love for them, and how living a Christian life shapes and sustains them now and forever. Pray with and over them. Love them. Let them see our example to others (and to them) is with respect and love.
Don't let the world set their expectations to a low standard. Help them believe in themselves and teach them to be an example to others in their words, love, and faith.
Love in Christ,
Tera
