A few weeks ago I met a young, 10 year old girl named Beth who had the most earnest heart for God. Seriously, I've never met anyone like her before. She was totally at peace and so, so wise. She had been adopted from china into a Christian home a few years ago and her greatest desire was to tell others about Jesus. She told me that when she was older she wanted to be a missionary in China, and that she really wanted to tell her old foster parents about the One True God, Jesus Christ. She was also always willing and wanting to pray for people. This girl clearly knew what it was like to walk hand in hand with The Lord every day.
When I met her, I was so amazed. My first thought? "She's only 10 and she's so on fire for God!"
And that is where my earthly thinking came in. Man, as humans we can be so naive sometimes. Even as Christians, we are constantly underestimating God's power. You see, age doesn't matter to God. When I looked at this young girl and was amazed because she loved Jesus so much at such a young age, I was putting God inside of a box. I was forgetting just how pwerful God is. How He has never and will never be held back by time, circumstances or age. This is the God of the universe we're talking about. All He looks for is an open and willing heart. It doesn't matter if you're ten years old or 100 years old- God will use anyone He chooses. His power and His glory... it is all so beyond our comprehension. As Christians, I pray we never forget that. I pray we never forget how mighty and strong our God is and how nothing can ever hold Him back.
Lord, I praise you for being a God so much greater than we can ever imagine.
