Too young for God to use?
Being a true servant of the Lord doesn't require intelligence, qualifying abilities or a good state of living. The only requirement is a committed heart and soul who is willing to serve Him in spirit and in truth. Giving yourself to the Lord is a sign of full surrender to Him including the desires of your heart. Being used by the Lord doesn't require biodata, resume or even diploma and I know you find it very ridiculous. I'm recommending you to read the story of Jeremiah who was called by God even though he was still very young. The Lord says, age doesn't really matter as long as it is my will. I will use you my son and do not worry for I will be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you, all you need is to give your full trust in me and I will handle everything. For example you were tapped to preach for your youth fellowship next saturday, you suddenly feel extreme fear within you ang many thoughts were on your mind. You're thinking about what will be the possible reactions of your listeners, will they oppose on every word that I say? Would they laugh at me while I preach the gospel? Always remember that God will never put you to shame, it's just part of the plan by the enemy to fill your heart with fear and makes itself a hindrance of spreading the good news from the Lord. Inside your classroom, if you were assigned to report a topic to your classmates you should be prepared and oriented to your assigned topic in order to answer all the possible questions that they will ask. It requires good analyzing skills and intelligence to really make an effective report. This kind of situation is very far from preaching the word of the Lord, it doesn't require any degree in college, or a certificate that proves you're a graduate individual. God is using you and you will never be put to shame. According to a verse in the bible that, " His ways are greater than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts." So brothers and sisters, remember that God is always in control and orders everything if you'll only depend on Him. Don't be afraid, don't let fear overcome you but let the spirit of God consume you. God bless!
