Have You Ever Felt Too Young?

by Bekah Prytherch

Have you ever felt that you were too young? That you couldn’t do something great for God? Sometimes when we are younger we feel like we cannot do the great things that grownups can do. But, did you know for the kingdom of God it doesn’t matter how old you are? No matter how old you may be, you can still do amazing

things for God at a very young age! Whether it be helping out a friend at school or being kind to someone that is being bullied. Maybe its helping your grandparents, helping your mom and dad around the house, or helping a neighbor. Or maybe its just being a kind friend to somebody in need.

You see, no matter how old you are or where you are, you can do great things for God. God sees you and everything that you do. He loves so much and you mean so much to Him! Even though you may be younger, you can still do amazing things for Him!

There is a story in the Bible where Jesus was teaching people and some children ran up to Him. But, the disciples did not want Jesus to be bothered with children while He was teaching. So the disciples tried to shoo the children away, but Jesus did something amazing. He said in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Jesus wanted the children to come to Him just like he wants you to come to Him now! Through praying and reading your Bible you are able to come to God. He is always there, He is always listening and willing to help you. God sees you and everything you do. He cares about you, just like Jesus cared about seeing the little children! You can do BIG things for God no matter your age.
