"God provides only when the time is right. It doesn't matter if you're 26 or 45; it's never too late. This is a good Message for Sunday school or teenagers to motivate them.:

"This is the type of conversation that leaves the youth depressed and feeling like they are left behind or feeling like their life is not progressing...we need to understand that God's timing is not our timing."

"One thing I can tell you is that there is no formula to life. If you achieved those things by 25, great. But success doesn't have an age limit. Social media is just putting unnecessary pressure on people and makes them believe they are failures if they don't achieve these things by the age of 25 years."
