"The Lord has said to me, "Do not say, 'I am too young.' But go to whomever I send you and say whatever I tell you. Do not be afraid of those to whom I send you, for I will be with you to protect you... They will attack you but they will not be able to overcome you, for I will be with you." [Jeremiah 1:7-8, 19]
As I read this verse in Jeremiah this morning I was encouraged because it dispelled one of the biggest fears I have as a teenager: the fear of being too young. That may seem like a strange fear to have but it makes sense. We teenagers have all heard the voice in our heads telling us that we can't do it, that we aren't capable of doing certain things because, after all, we're not adults yet.
This is verse confirmed to me that God has a calling for all of us
and that His calling isn't dependent on our age. God will very often be calling
us to something that feels too 'big' for us too do... and most of the time it
will be because God wants us to depend on HIM!
If God calls you to something, He's definitely not calling you to
do it alone. He will be there all along.
So it doesn't matter if you think you're too young... walk in the
plan God has!
