As the body decays, the soul is enriched.
Looking back, it is impossible to count all the blessings that He created in my life out of my worst yesterdays.
The Challenge: I'm still here. He obviously has something for me to do for His glory. And He'll supply the power to do it. And then tell me "Thank You." Imagine that! Despite my past record, He has confidence in His ability to still use me. And wants to!
Gray hairs--according to Him--a sign of all the wisdom He's given. (I wonder what fewer hairs is a sign of?)
The Word that I've hid in my heart, His Spirit has miraculously transformed into spontaneous behavior that reflects His grace--the grace that specializes in weakness.
So many truths that I knew in my head I now know by experience. You know, like, God is so good. I will never leave you nor forsake you. When you are faithless, I will be faithful. My love for you is inescapable. I can go back into your yesterdays and saturate them with My goodness and mercy. I took care of all your tomorrows yesterday. And I will know at least one more: "Yes, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, for He will be with me."
I cherish the gift of each day.
I've got my eyes on the sparrows and the lilies of the valley.
Following Him--no matter what--brings a daily joy that is incomprehensible.
And I am so much closer to seeing Him--face-to-face.
As the body decays, the soul is enriched.
