1 Timothy 4:12 opens with "Let no man despise thy youth". when i first got to know this verse, i thought, duhhh, why would anyone hate being young?! when you're older, you suffer from illnesses, become less fit, all that kind of stuff.

but of course, this verse means more than just that. it's about not looking down on ourselves, or not underestimating our capabilities just because we are young. the Scriptures show us examples of young people achieving great things, such as David when he conquered Goliath, and also Solomon when he became king of Israel. Solomon felt inadequate, and asked the Lord for guidance, and the Lord blessed him.

so, i shall revel in my youth. i shall go about with the mindset that in spite of my relative youth, i can.
