Young or Old: God Has No Limit


But the Lord said to me: Do not say, I am a youth, For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. (Jeremiah 1:7 NKJV)

God tells Jeremiah that he shouldn't say that he's a youth. He says this because he wants Jeremiah to realize who is talking to him. He wants Jeremiah to know that he's the almighty God that can do all things and can even make youth and young people useful in bringing news from God. He says this to show US that we are not too young or too old to bring glory to his name and to live for him. There is no age limit to serving him.



We can be used by God at any age

even when we’re young

One Moment

Some people say that God is always just, merciful, loving, kind, and generous, but
There was one moment when God wasn't just, when God wasn't merciful, when he wasn't loving,
when he didn't show kindness and turned his face away, when he wasn't generous.
That moment was when he sent his son to die 
for the sins of man and suffer on the cross.
God did not show mercy to Jesus, 
he was not just, 
he wasn't loving and turned his face away,
he was not generous and kind to Jesus. 
When Jesus bore our sins upon himself, 
God could not bear to look upon his son.
He did this so that WE may be forgiven,
So that WE could live and praise him forever and be with him in eternity,
so that WE could have a second chance
so WE could walk with him like we once did.
He loved us SO MUCH that he allowed this to happen:

When You Look Back

I was looking through my past posts and came across this one. It reminded me of how I first came to fall in love with that verse.

Interesting Quote

I was looking through the internet, scanning different Bible quotes on strength, and I found this really good quote and wanted to share it with you.

If God brings you TO it, He will bring you THROUGH it.
This quote is talking about how when you find yourself in a position in your life that's just devastating or hard to conquer the pain, you may ask God why he had decided to put you in that situation. You may question him even. "Why God, why did you bring me here?" Well, if he had brought you into that situation, he probably knows you'll be able to make it through, with some difficulty. That's where the second part of the quote comes in, He has brought you to this point, don't think that this is the end, he's not just going to leave you there. He's going to carry your burdens and help you climb the slippery slope up the mountain, until you reach its peak. He will help you every step you take, if you slip, he'll catch you, if you're exhausted and can't take one more step, he will carry you.
