Just because you are young, does not mean you can’t start, that you can’t do the seemingly impossible, or that you can’t move on the calling God has placed in you because you are not X-years-old. You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment, because one does not exist.

Read MoreLooking back over your own life, are you glad God doesn’t protect you from the difficult seasons? Consider the reason’s why. He wants to use you to empathetically minister to others.
