Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. I Timothy 4:12
It is so easy to be intimidated by others. When we are trying to be good examples of a disciple who follows Christ each day, someone can be right there to discourage and discredit us. We might be called too dumb, too smart, too beautiful, too ugly, too aloof, too humble, or any number of things to diminish our light in a dark world. For Timothy, Paul's son in the faith, his age did not match his wisdom and knowledge. God's answer for that was to walk the walk, and talk the talk. Be an example of those who believe, for those who are struggling. Leave them saying, "Man, he may be young, but wow, what a disciple." For us in may be, "Wow, they may be ________, but wow, what a disciple. " Let's go and not look back.
