This morning I was reading my bible and I came across a verse in Jeremiah.
“Ah Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”
But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord”
Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth.
Jeremiah 1: 5-9
As I sit and read this I cannot help but think of my Dad’s youth group over in Northern Ireland right now. When I went there when I was in high school I felt so small. So insignificant. “What can I do? I’m so young. So vile. So ignorant.” But the Lord moved me that week. And the spirit moved the people there.
Youth. Even though you are young and feel like you have no wisdom nor answers…you have Christ in you. And he will give you the words of His heart. You do not need to worry. Just have the boldness to speak and to love and watch HIM WORK!
