This week, I’ll experience nearly every season of life in a matter of three days.
One day, I’ll celebrate a quinceañera. That's a sacred moment when a young girl steps into adulthood. She's dreaming about her future and who she’s becoming. The next day, I’ll stand with two families at two funerals, honoring lives deeply loved and dearly missed. And then, like most Sundays, I’ll lead worship, lifting up songs and prayers alongside my church family. It also happens to be the Sunday we’ll bless the backpacks of all our students. Preschoolers to graduate students will leave with a blessing for a new school year.
Each of these events speaks to every part of life. That's a reminder to us today that all our faith connects to all our life. Faith in God isn't something relegated to one season of our lives, bound by age. No, Sunday school and learning the stories of the Bible are not only for little children. Praying, learning to lead worship and serving aren't only for the more seasoned saints.
We all have a place in God's story today. And we follow God no matter our age. Yes, you may have different responsibilities or expectations, but we are all invited to walk with the Lord.
So, let’s not hold back. Let’s give our full effort to growing in faith and helping others grow too. There’s no off-season for trusting God. No perfect age to begin. Just today. Thankfully, God is already here in it, waiting for you.
What season of life are you in? How are you growing in faith right now? As you think about how God is transforming your heart, this may be a good time to write a letter of encouragement to someone younger and older than you. Share your faith to encourage theirs!
Stay blessed...john |
