WHO YOU REALLY ARE

Friday, January 25, 2008

The Apostle Paul says there is an outer you and an inner you. He also said, “Outwardly we are wasting away.” Sooner or later, Old Man Wrinkle is coming for everybody.

If you are over thirty, you lose thousands of brain cells every day.

YeS, outwardly you are wasting away. But that is not the real you. The inner you is the real you. But the inner you is invisible. In the New Testament, Paul says the body is headed south in a hurry. But that doesn’t seem to bother him much. He knows that he will live and die, but he also knows he is destined for eternity.

Dear friend, stop measuring time by how much arthritis you have and start looking to your heavenly father. You are looking more like Him everyday. Keep thinking about what you will be.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm sure this wasn't aimed right at me, but it fit. Sometimes it's hard to keep your eyes on the final goal when the wrinkles and arthritis set in. I love you.

This day's blog reminds me of a recent saying that I heard recently.
WHAT YOU ARE IS EVIDENT IN WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WHEN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
