Let No One Despise You

"Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you." Titus 2:15 NKJV

Twice, the Bible says that we should let no one despise us; the first in Titus 2:15 and in 1 Timothy 4:12: "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

1 Timothy 4:12 has inspired me so much since I was a child. You see, I didn't let anyone make me feel inferior or incapable or unqualified for whatever reason, and I didn't despise myself either! I determined long ago to be an example, not only in the things of God; even in school, and at work, I worked with the same mindset. I live and strive to be the one who inspires others to be the best.

There are people who will attempt to despised you: even Jesus, with all He did some still referred to Him as a carpenter and they couldn't just accept Him as the Son of God! Let no one despise you wherever you find yourself; they may look down on you, but it's your response and your own perception of yourself that really matters! Never despise yourself; there's nothing wrong with you; nothing at all! Lean on the Holy Spirit and let Him take you farther than you ever imagined. Amen.
