A parable — Calling doubting

A young man was told to speak to nations, and he answered: 'I cannot — I am only a youth.' The answer he received was not 'you are older than you think' but 'do not say you are a youth — go where I send you.' The qualification was not in him. Ask yourself: Are you measuring yourself against the task — or against the One who sent you? RED — be honest about whose authority sends. 'I am not enough' is true; 'so go anyway' is also true (Jer 1:6-9). (A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)
