Did you know it does not matter how old you are to God? Through Scripture, God used the young, the old, the middle-aged. And He used people of all diversities. He used people with challenges and accepted people of all walks of life.
1 Timothy 4:12, "Do not let anyone treat you as if you are unimportant because you are young. Instead, be an example to the believers with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life."
Being young does not lower your self-worth or value in the body of Christ. Neither does being old. God chose to use multiple young people in Bible times to convey his message, bring healing to the sick, act in great faith, and do miracles. David was approximately eleven years old when he slayed the 9 ft giant, Goliath. Josiah was only seven years old when he became king of Israel, and Solomon was twelve. And a little boy with a little lunch was the conduit through which over 5,000 people were fed on a hillside. And there were great men of the bible who were over the age of 100 and continued to be God's instrument in a fallen world. God continues to use young and old people in the world today.
There are no more excuses for how young you are or your lack of experience. Neither is there an excuse for being too old. The anointing of God on your life will make an eternal impact. Follow God faithfully and be an example, "with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life." Get ready for God to use you in small and great ways. You are His ambassador in this present world.
