When we're young, we can't wait to grow up. I remember when I was about 15 or 16 I just couldn't wait to drive. When I first got my license, I volunteered to drive everywhere. To the store, to church, anywhere. That lasted for about 6 months.
When we're older, people always say that they wish they could be young again. The elders of our church are always saying that they wish they could have their strength when they were young. It seems we yearn for things that are out of our reach.
God wants us to be happy at whatever "season" of life we're in. He made us physically strong in our youth. Our beauty and strength when we're young is based on our physical beings. When we grow older, our beauty and strength is based on our spiritual beings, as we mature in our spiritual walk. We gradually lose the physical beauty and strength, as we focus on what is eternal, our spiritual beauty and strength.
Are you in life's "springtime" of youth? Trust God's timing to fulfill all of your dreams. Are you in life's "summer or autumn" of middle age? Determine to face life's challenges head-on. Are you in life's "winter", or twilight? Draw closer to God. Make sure that we enjoy each season of life. God made a time and a purpose for everything. Don't year for things in the past or in the future. Enjoy the here and now. You only get one shot at it. Be blessed.
