Truthful Tuesday: It Don't Matter If I'm YOUNG!

"You have to be old to live for Christ."

 

WRONGGGG!!! That is the biggest myth ever, my friend! Why is it that many people feel that you must be older to serve God? I mean the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 4:12 that you can serve God as a young person. If God used David at a young age, what makes you think that He can't use you?

Let me tell you, age means absolutely nothing to God. Whether you're 2, 5, 25, 15, 18, etc., He still can use you to be a light in the world. I've always loved to go to church & loved Christ, but I really came to Christ when I was about 13. That was the time when I really changed my ways, so that I could be more Christ-like.

See, just because you're young doesn't mean that you have to go parties, clubs, or listen to the hottest rap song. Naw, you were bought into this world to STAND out! I'm telling you, the best decision I could ever make as a young person was to serve Christ & to live for Him. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy, but it is definitely worth it! A lot of young people say that you can't have any fun if you're saved, but what's so fun about doing things that will risk your chance of getting into Heaven? 

Don't be afraid to serve & live for God as a young person. I tell you God will honor your obedience & He will bless you tremendously. When your peers are stressing & their lives are full of chaos, God will give you peace and strength. So, live for God as a young person. Be a light in this dark world. Be on fire for Him & watch Him change your life for the better. You never know when your time will come, so get you life right NOW so that Heaven will be your home in eternity.
