What Difference Can I Make?

As a young leader, in a season of transition and a difficult situation, Timothy found himself comparing himself to Paul. He was less experienced, less knowledgeable, and less mature. Timothy was timid. He felt insecure. And yet, his credibility was rooted in his character, not his charisma or age. Timothy was gifted by God to help people know God through Scripture, which was affirmed by those who knew him. Timothy's authority, credibility, responsibility, ability, and dependability were not to bolster his resume or pad his stats. He was to be and to do for the sake of others.
