The road away from Jesus begins before birth.
We get locked into this humanness that has sin nature built in and the next seven or eight or nine decades are a battle within.
Jesus or the world?
Imagine our lives a timeline. Children still breathe Jesus so easily. The oldest people often seem so ready to leave. Can we be refreshed by stories on either end, reminding us that with heart and perseverance, we can stay on the road?
Yesterday morning, my friend's mom died. She was 92 and ready. But the sweetest part was that my friend's aunt died around the same time, and my friend was overwhelmed with gratitude at the thought of sisters entering heaven together, side by side.
And three-year-old Eden asked her mommy, "Can we listen to music about Jesus because it makes my heart go side-to-side?"
Side by side...side-to-side.
Be refreshed.
