How can you make something that most people fear, an asset in your life? \u00a0Most of us fear getting older, but with the right moves, it can make our lives get better as our “altitude” goes up, sorry a pilots term. \u00a0Age can lead to wisdom, but only if we seek wisdom in the right place. \u00a0Please let me share a few thoughts on the subject.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to know who you are<\/strong><\/span>. \u00a0If you give your life to Him, then you are His. \u00a0Once you belong to Him, He promises to take responsibility for your life. \u00a0 That doesn’t mean you are inactive in the process, but He promises to assure the final results. His guidance will take you to the place He desires for you, and it will always be better than what you would desire for yourself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Faith and Trust lead to peace and joy<\/strong>.<\/span> \u00a0We all face difficulties in our lives, be He will never leave you or forsake you. \u00a0The assurance of His presence will get you through any thing you must face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seek to know Him and obey Him.<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0By reading His Word, praying and fellowshipping with Him, he will lead you into a much better life than you could ever arrange for yourself. \u00a0With His wise counsel and that of dedicated brothers and sisters, He will grow you into what He has planned for you. \u00a0What He has planned for you is life far exceeding anything you could imagine……. trust me on this one!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
