Life Gets Better with Maturity, Not with Age

Daily writing promptWhat do you think gets better with age?View all responses

Life improves with maturity, not with the mere passing of time and the passive accumulation of years. Maturity has taught me that life is a great gift that gets better and better the more I appreciate it and the more I cultivate gratitude in my heart.

Invasive thoughts force their way into the human mind to torment and manipulate people into agreement with them. Maturity has taught me that I need to resist, refute, reject, and repel with rigor every anxious and every rebellious thought that invades my mind. As I get older, I’m growing day by day in peace, contentment, gratitude, and joy. Here’s how:

By “fixing our eyes on Jesus,” “the Righteous One,” and hearing what He says within us we can be witnesses of what we’ve seen and heard. That’s the testimony that overcomes the power of darkness. (See Revelation 12:11.) The risen Jesus politely knocks and speaks with a gentle voice saying, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

There’s no expiration date on the voice of Jesus. He’s still speaking to His sheep.

Some people believe that Jesus isn’t speaking to me and to multitudes of other people around the world. But whoever or whatever is speaking to us in the name of Jesus is making our lives wonderful! Listen and see for yourself!

What are you waiting for? Call now on His name. Look now with the eyes of your heart. Listend now with the ears of your spirit. Begin now to be led by His Spirit throughout each day. Resolve right now to ever speak and testify to what you’ve seen and heard the risen Jesus say and do. With God all things are Him-possible!

(If you’ve experienced what I’m talking about, leave a comment on this post and testify now. “I know that nothing is impossible with God because . . .: Complete the sentence.)

Here’s mine. I know that nothing is impossible with God because He puts thoughts in my mind and when I obey the inner promptings of His still small voice amazing things happen. He recently told me to “Trust more and try less.” Since I’ve been actively seeking to trust and rely on Him no matter what, instead of trying to make what I want happen, I’ve been experiencing the most inner peace I’ve ever had.
