Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
Last night we gained another hour.
Oh wouldn't it be great if you could turn back your
LIFE CLOCK
and have an extra hour
to do that one thing that you wish you did,
or to undo that one thing that you wish you didn't do?
But THANKS be to GOD
that when
JESUS comes into your LIFE
HE sets your CLOCK back
and
FORGIVES what has already been done.
Oh the FREEDOM to get a
DO~OVER IN CHRIST.
Because
"If anyone is IN CHRIST, the NEW CREATION has come.
The old has gone, the new has come"
(2 Corinthians 5:17).
I love NEW, because NEW never gets OLD.
because you always get a

IN CHRIST.
For every second is an opportunity to
BEGIN AGAIN ANEW.
I know this firsthand,
as I find it funny
that the older I get
the younger I feel and act!
Maybe it is because the older I get
I am living more as the REAL me who GOD created me to be~
A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST.
I am not able to TURN BACK the clock
and have a DO~OVER,
but THANKS TO JESUS
for CHANGING me.
For I wish I was 63 at 21,
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 63,
I bet when I am 64
I will wish that I was
64 at 21
because
every minute,
every day,
every week,
every month,
and
every year,
I get better & better & better
as I continue to
let JESUS make the REAL CHANGES in me,
because only HE
makes me younger & younger & younger
as I continue to get older & older & older.
For JESUS 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
is what
sets you FREE,
so
HE RELEASES
THE CHILD
in you
so that your younger self
meets you older self,
so that you can finally
just be your
REAL SELF IN JESUS.
So what would you tell your younger self?
"DEAR YOUNGER ME"
