With age our body begins to change. Muscles start to ache. Hair becomes grey or white. Our sight and hearing may weaken.

The apostle Paul once shared this timeless wisdom with people, which is helpful for us even today:

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

The results of sin in the world may wreak havoc with our bodies, but they can’t touch our spirit.

If you are dealing with a serious diagnosis, if you are ashamed of your body, or if you are exhausted from the everyday tasks of life, don’t give up. Set your gaze upon the Giver of life. Your body may ache, but God is still able to renew your spirit. Day by day.
