“In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1:1

What did John see when he walked, and talked, and dined, and laughed, and cried with Jesus. What was going through his mind when he saw Jesus transformed into pure light on a mountain top, revealing Himself as the son of God. What a trip for a 17 year old. Ahh, that one surprised you, didn’t it. Indeed, John was a teenager when he met Jesus and decided to follow Him. While we know the Apostles were fishermen, when we read the Bible we tend to think of Jesus Apostles as these street wise sages. In truth they were like you and I, and they were willing to say yes to what God had in store for them.

God Does Not See Age, He Sees The Heart

No matter where you are in life, young or old, learned or streetwise, in simple surroundings or a mansion, God has a plan for you if you will simply turn your heart in His direction. John said yes a teenager, and as an apostle changed the world. Others in the Bible, such as Moses, was 80 when he turned his heart to God and led a nation out of captivity. God will use any heart willing to be used, to do the incredible. I wish your bathroom mirror could look beyond your face and see the powerful heart beating within you. One yes to God is all it takes. Say yes, and watch Him rock your world.
