Old age as harvest time

SUMMARY: Old age can be a beautiful time for personal growth and healing. It's an opportunity to make peace with loved ones, try new things, and pursue dreams. With God's help, we can overcome any obstacles and achieve success and fulfillment, no matter our age. Each day is a chance to become more like Christ and deepen our relationship with him.

Old age can be a time of great beauty, an opportunity to make peace with our loved ones and with ourselves. It can be a time of inner healing, in which we finally hold all those negative energies that have caused us so much pain and conflict throughout life. It can represent an opportunity to develop new facets of our personality, long repressed; to try new colors in our clothing, to broaden the circle of our friends; finally undertake those projects that we wanted to undertake during our youth, but for one reason or another we could not. An old Jewish saying states: “For the ignorant, old age means winter time; for the educated, harvest time ”.

We can achieve our dreams no matter how old we are. Life is waiting for us to embark on the journey of knowledge, triumph, and self-improvement. All of this, and much more, is available to you through the power of God that moves within you! Using the principles that God has provided in his word we can confidently declare with the apostle Paul: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

For the person committed to harnessing all of life's circumstances for personal growth, there are no insurmountable barriers on the way to the top. Even failures and adversity, the passage of time and the ailments of old age, even those obstacles that cannot be entirely overcome, can be the raw material for success and personal fulfillment. With Christ in our life, each stage of life has its own virtue and beauty. Each day represents a new opportunity to become more like him and get to know him in a new way.
