As young people, I think we tend to dwell on pressure rather than purpose. We’re overwhelmed by the pressure to prove – to prove that we have potential, that we’re good at what we do, that we don’t need to have had a lot of experience to have valuable input. Sometimes our youth can feel like such a burden and obstacle that we forget what an invaluable, purposeful gift it is. I’d like you to take a step back with me and evaluate your life for a second. Years from now, we might look into a mirror and wonder where the time went and what in the world we did with it. I think, in the grand span of our life, we may think about these years that we’re in right now more than we realize. How are you redeeming the time? I hope it’s not in frustration, pressure, discouragement, and unholy hustle. Paul famously charged Timothy to set an example in our youth – in speech, life, love, faith, purity. The world has a gigantic spotlight on us, young people, whether we realize it or not. Everyone wants to know how we’ll act and react. Everyone sets an example for someone, but as young people – and especially young leaders, young pastors (like Timothy), young couples, young Christians – we have a little bit of a novel appeal.
