1. But the Lord said to Samuel, " Don't judge by his appearance or height, for i have rejected him. The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" - 1 Samuel 16: 7

Its unbelieveable how true this is. Its funny, i just spent a long time looking for a verse about age, and being young, but i definitely couldnt find it, so when i found this one, i thought i could relate it as well.

I find that being 17, almost 18 in 12 days =) that i am judged by outward appearance, my younger appearance, by those who don't think i can do it. Its discouraging at some points , because only God knows what im truly capable of. Sometimes i think its funny for people to not believe in young people like me, because at one point in their lives they were me, and they were the ones being judged .
But i just wanted to put out a little note, to tell you, that i can do it. that we can do it. With God we can do anything, don't look down on me, because i am young, but rather, be supportive and encouraging.
For God calls us to love eachother, and support eachother in him.
Doesn't he?
