The moment the clock struck 12:00
I became
744 months
or
3235 weeks
or
22,645 days
or
543,480 hours
or
32,608,800 minutes
or
1,956,528,000 seconds
or in simpler terms
62 years old.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
But
ONCE UPON A TIME AGO
I was 21
and
I wish I was 62 at 21
and then I would have
not taken offense
not taken defense
not carried worries
not searched for the meaning of life in the wrong places
not carried anger & bitterness
not be so full of fear & doubt
and
not thought of GOD as a joy stealer
and
not believed that JESUS was just a religion
and
not thought that a conviction was condemnation.
But now that I am 62
I bet when I am 63 I will wish that I was
63 at 21
because
every minute
every day
every week
every month
every year
I get better & better & better
as I continue to
wear JESUS
because only HE
makes me younger & younger & younger
as I continue to get older & older & older
as HE continues to release the
little playful girl inside of me
as HE releases
the CHILD~LIKE FAITH
inside
that makes me
younger & younger & younger
as I get older & older & older.
Oh the freedom
of
BEING REAL WITH JESUS
that sets you
FREE~
UNLEASHING you
to be the
CHILD who GOD created you to be~
FORGIVEN. FAVORED. FREE~
"For you are all children of GOD through faith in CHRIST JESUS" (Galatians 3:26).
GOD said so and JESUS made it so.
Oh I wish I was 62 at 21,
but I am thankful
that I am
AGELESS IN JESUS
feeling more like a 12 year old
who can be silly & giddy
because she knows that she has a
FATHER who LOVES her.
A SON who SAVED her.
A HOLY SPIRIT who EMPOWERS her
to live above all things that come her way~
FREE to be the me
&
FREE to be the you
who GOD created us to be
in the here & now
because
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36).
Will you join me
and
LIVE IN THE FREEDOM
of
WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST
and
BE FREE to be the you
WHO GOD CREATED you to BE~
"PERFECTLY LOVED"
