Read about It
Read: 1 Timothy 4:12
There are many things you can’t do when you are younger. You can’t have a driver’s license. You can’t have a full-time job. You can’t register to vote. All of these things require you to be a certain age to do them. Can you think of more things that you want to do but have to wait until you’re older? There is one thing that doesn’t have an age requirement, and you can do this right now, even if you’re young. You can live your life to follow Jesus and be an example to those around you.
No matter your age, people are watching your life and the choices you make. Is the way you’re living your life pointing people to God, or is it pointing people away from God? He can use you, no matter what age you are, to influence those around you. Your life makes a difference!
