Ageless Faith

In sharing with a faithful, Christlike Salvationist resident today, it was clear that the weight and anxiety of the aging process is being felt. What an absolute privilege it was to sit together and reflect on the assured promises of God's Word and His prevenient daily grace, rejoicing in the hope we each have.

However, long after our pastoral conversation, his parting words are still ringing loudly in my ears and causing my heart to beat with great joy.

"I can't do what I used to do for God, but I can still show Him through my words and walk."

Yes, Lord, thank you!

Colossians 3:17 (MSG) ~ "Let every detail in your lives ~ words, actions, whatever ~ be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way."
