It occurred to me that as I age I don't do a lot of things physically as fast as I used to. It also occurred to me that in my younger days I spent a tremendous amount of time and energy running to the next thing, and the next thing and the next thing, hoping to find love, security and acceptance.
As I get older, and look inside myself and get nearer to God, I realize if I had just been still and believed what God was telling and showing me, I wouldn't have gone where I had been. I'm not beating myself up for where I've been or what I've done, the past is the devils playground. What I am eluding to is this: Once I realized that be being still and opening up to God, more weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
That old saying "Let go and let God" was something I had previously failed to grasp. It's not that I'm getting older that gets me closer to God, it's my willingness to admit failure and weakness to Him and accepting His version of me.
I'm strongest in my weakness before Him.
