The Glory of Youth


I have often heard that the youths are the glory of their upcoming generation. However, the youths that saturate in the power and might of Gods wisdom are somewhat castaways. For example, as I was growing in the wisdom and love of God I was despise by many older age saints. One angry saint stated “You can’t preach or share the word because you are far to young”. Religious leaders and elders shunned me with their remarks and the older people of this world hate me because I am “Religious”. It is hard for the ones who know me to comprehend the transformation from darkness into light and from ignorance unto wisdom. Solomon in his youth was wiser than many; Jesus in his youth had the teachers around him amazed because of his understand and the way he worded his questions. Timothy had to be a powerhouse for Paul to take him under his wings. Now is it not written To not let anyone despise your youth? Indeed it is written and Paul through the Holy Spirit saw the rebuking of the youth. So he gave us encouragement during the stage of “Rejection”. It was also told to us to enjoy the glory of our youth. Yet, it is so hard because you steady have people that hate the fact that God has given you specific gifts that took them years of service to obtain. God has surely blessed me with the gift of wisdom, understanding and knowledge. However the Religious people in my past only spoke curses upon me. Now that doesn’t cause me to lose faith and neither should it cause you to lose faith, however it is just sad. God is not a respecter of men. Just as he gave me the gifts he to will give to others. The biggest problem that would hinder anyone from receiving the gifts of God would be their heart. But to the elders that read this “LOVE YOUR YOUTHS” and enjoy them. They are truly the future and to go against them is to go against God because Jesus said “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven”.
