Do you remember what you looked like when you were sixteen? If you are significantly older, you’ve probably forgotten unless you look at a picture.

All of us begin aging from the moment of conception. At first this is a fantastic idea. We become bigger, stronger, and even develop a more capable intellect. But there does come that moment in life when aging catches up with us. What was once wonderful becomes discouraging.

From about midlife on, we become weaker on the outside, even if we are thriving on the inside. Physically we are dying even if spiritually we are better than ever (2 Corinthians 4:16).
