Ageing

Ageing is not a decline but a divine design. As the seasons of life change, so does the beauty within us. Grey hair and slowed steps may come, but so do wisdom, reflection, and spiritual depth. The Bible reminds us, “Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you” (Isaiah 46:4, NCV). God’s care does not diminish with age—it increases in intimacy.

In our youth, we pursue strength. In our later years, we might pursue influence and significance. It’s not about what we can do, but what we can impart. Every wrinkle tells a story, every quiet moment holds value. You are not forgotten—you are being refined.

When we think about ageing, embrace each day. Live with purpose. Your latter years can still echo into eternity, resounding with wisdom, grace and quiet strength.
