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 Timothy 4:12
Though we might not hold a position as Timothy did, our lives should still be an example to those looking on.
I am challenged to reflect faithfully what a Christian should be in
Doctrine
Conduct
Love
Spirit
Faithfulness
and Purity
The flower just ready to bloom may not look anything like the mature flower, yet it is still--in this case--an iris. Though young Christians are not at the same stage of growth as elders, the young are still a representation and should be an true example in holiness.
Blessings,
