"I'm too young for God to use me, I need to wait until I'm older"
How it sounds in your head: Adults are always saying 'when you grow up' and 'someday you'll understand.' I want to do something for God now, but I'm just a kid. Maybe I need to wait until I'm important enough.
"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 4:12World system dismisses children as 'not yet valuable,' importing that lie into the Kingdom where age never determined anointing.
She's constantly told she's 'too young' to understand, decide, or contribute. Adults talk over her and save the important jobs for teenagers or grown-ups, making her feel like a waiting room Christian.
Samuel was a young BOY sleeping in the temple when God called him by name to deliver a prophetic word that shook the nation. God didn't wait until he was an adult, He spoke to the CHILD and the child's word came true.
I REFUSE the lie that I'm too young for God to use me. IT IS WRITTEN to let no one despise my youth, which means my age is not a disqualification. Samuel heard God as a boy. David fought giants as a teen. Mary carried Messiah at my age. I don't have to wait until I'm older to matter to God. IT IS WRITTEN that I am fearfully and wonderfully made RIGHT NOW, not someday when I'm grown. The BARAK blessing doesn't have an age minimum. God can use me TODAY because I'm connected to the Vine, and branches don't have to be old to bear fruit.
The Father isn't waiting for you to grow up to include you in His plan. He's already placed dreams in your young heart and He's cheering you on NOW, not in some distant future when you're 'old enough.'
