About being young again…
2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are
wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. (NIV)
When you are young, your body is in a state of growth and maturation. When
you reach your late teen's, your body quits growing. In your late twenties to
early thirties, your body begins to faintly show the signs of aging. If we are
consumed by being forever young in our body, we live in a sad state. For no one
gets younger in their body or stays young in their body as the years roll by.
However, we may get old in our body, but inwardly, in our inner life and in our
thinking, we can find eternal youth. The challenge of a lifetime is not to be
young in spirit when you are young. The challenge of a lifetime is to stay young
in spirit as you get older. A life full of hope, energy, enthusiasm, and forever
looking forward is possible for every person at any age. The one overriding
consequence of Christ's resurrection was His message to us that we have an
eternal life, an eternal hope, and an eternal road to travel. In Christ, there
is no end to life. In Christ, there is only a great new beginning, even as we
near the end of this life on earth.
