"Young people don't want to hear from someone my age. I have nothing they need."
How it sounds in your head: They roll their eyes when I speak. They want influencers, not advice from someone who doesn't even understand TikTok. My experiences feel ancient to them—what could I possibly offer?
"The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children."
-- Titus 2:3-4Religion's lie that anointing decreases with age instead of INCREASES.
She offers wisdom and gets met with polite smiles and quick exits. The young women flock to 25-year-old podcasters while she sits in the corner with stories no one asks for.
Naomi was a bitter widow who thought she had nothing left to offer. But her one younger mentee, Ruth, clung to her wisdom—and through Naomi's guidance, Ruth married Boaz, birthed Obed, and became the great-grandmother of KING DAVID, landing in the Messianic line.
I REFUSE the lie that young people don't need me. IT IS WRITTEN that older women are assigned to teach the younger women—this is divine DESIGN, not optional. What I carry isn't outdated—it's ESSENTIAL for this generation's victory. I am not irrelevant; I am strategically positioned. IT IS WRITTEN that even when I am old and grayheaded, God will not forsake me until I declare His strength to this generation. Like Naomi whose one mentee changed history, my influence will produce LEGACY that echoes through bloodlines. I walk in the Abrahamic BARAK—I am blessed to BE a blessing, and that blessing flows to EVERY generation I touch.
The Father isn't waiting for you to become younger—He's preparing younger hearts to HUNGER for what you carry. Like Ruth who wouldn't leave Naomi, spiritual daughters are being assigned to you RIGHT NOW who will cling to your words like life.
