Loss of Youth
As we grow older and experience the loss of our strength we once had; strength for our eyes to see, strength to walk up steps, strength to stand up, we want to age with dignity. It is hard to give up the keys to the car, have someone pay your bills for you and possibly even take care of your hygiene.
Making the choice that God has our best interests in mind can be reassuring. Depending on Him, when all others may have abandoned us in our old age, is a wise choice. He can give us peace and joy to the point others cannot stay away because they are encouraged by our presence.
“A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22 NKJV
God’s love will always bring us above our circumstances.
