Be Upright in Being Young

I Timothy 4:12-15

Let no one belittle you since you are young,
Be an example of the Word in your tongue;
Through love and faith and all that you do,
Mostly in your behavior each day through;
Pay attention while reading the Holy Word,
For it does not mean that you are a nerd;
While being so comforting unto the saints,
That your temptations are under restraints;
Utilize grace given to you by the prophets,
The church leaders bless you in all facets;
Have care taking all these things to heart,
So all may see you move forward to impart.
Young people are our future for the world,
In order for the plan of God to be unfurled;
As I profess to you this each and every day,
Stay the path of righteousness all the way;
For what you do now reflect later in life,
As you are tormented in toils and strife;
For the salvation is yours if you do right,
With following Jesus Christ into the light.
