We cannot know where we are on our life journey, We may be 42 years old in anticipation of our second half of life, 68 years old on the cup of old age with only one more year remaining, or 95 with another ten. In any case, with each passing moment we certainly are one step closer to the threshold of our eternal rest. Without a doubt, the older we are the nearer we are to our death. If we haven’t begun to invest in our spiritual health, there is no time like the present. The moment that we will cross over is fast approaching.

Nurturing our faith then becomes increasingly more important with age. Our relationship with the Lord must grow and deepen until our last breath. . .

You also are encouraged on your quest for a better relationship with the Lord, to call on the Holy Spirit for guidance and inspiration. Ask that your faith be fully awakened. Set your mind on the Spirit so that you will have life and peace (Romans 8:6). The Holy Spirit is sure to inspire and lead you, a child of God (Romans 8:14), forever young in the Spirit.”
