Young At Heart

Be a child. Be a child with a Daddy whose lap is always a safe place.
Run and run and run without growing weary.

It is possible, no matter what they say. It's possible to be young at heart. But, boy it's not easy. And it's not of our own doing. It's all because of Him.

A few simple thoughts:

1) Don't get bitter. Take those thoughts captive and get rid of them. Forgive, don't be jealous. Life is tough; we get the short end of the stick. But don't hold onto the hurts and disappointments.

2) Trust Him no matter what. Just trust Him even when things look all wrong. Then in the end, when dawn comes, continue to trust Him with your whole life, no matter how long the night has been. He has never left you, never forsaken you. Trust.

3) Do not choose to be an orphan. Turn to Him and not elsewhere for help, for comfort, for wisdom and advice, for love, for protection. Don't play the orphan card. Life is hard and tiring for children with no father. And He is ready to be faithful to you forever. Listen to Him. Let His ways be yours. Be His child.

"Fairytales can come true, it can happen to you, if you're young at heart."
