Have you ever felt like God had something special He wanted you to do? Maybe you were sitting next to a classmate who was having a hard time understanding a math problem. Or you walked by when a friend was alone crying in the hallway. Do you think that just happened by accident? Or do you think that maybe God chose you to be the person there at that time?
God does everything on purpose! If you are the one who walks in when someone needs help, you should be sure to ask God how you can help him or her. He chose you to be there! God wants to use you to help others. It is true! God loves using His children. You are never too old or too young for God to use you. He always has a plan.
And do you know what else? The Bible is full of stories of God using girls just like you to do something special for other people.
One of the most popular stories in the Bible is the story of Queen Esther. Esther was not born a queen. She was born a regular girl like you and me. But God chose her to marry a king! She became the queen and God used her to save a lot of lives. This was God’s plan all along. God chose Esther to be where she was when He needed her to help save others. You can read the whole story in the book of Esther if you’d like.
There are many other stories just like Esther’s. You may not become a queen, but every day God puts you in a place where He can use you in some way. He wants you to be ready and willing to let Him.
Today, remember to keep your eyes open for how God will use you. Do not miss your chance today!
Dear God, thank You for choosing me to be the one You want to use. Help me be ready for everything that You have for me today! I want You to use me. In Jesus’s name, amen.
The Bible is full of many wonderful girls and women, and some of them were not much older than you! There are even books of the Bible named after girls God used to do something special.
Take time to read their stories and journal about what you learn. Always remember that God wants to use your life too! Read the books of Ruth and Esther. You may want to use a study Bible to find out even more about these incredible young women. A study Bible has special notes and information that help you understand more about the stories you are reading.
