“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16

Dear Jesus, Just this week a friend told me I was looking old. He’s right. The bell tolls for me too. My body moves slower and creaks more every week. But my soul is as young as it became the day you saved me. I am renewed in eternal youth by the promise of restoration. I choose to think about this renewal more than about my aches and pains. I love you for releasing me of the spiritual aging effects of guilt and shame. Amen.
