Today’s devotional is more personal than my most recent ones, but I wanted to share the insight I gained from today’s verse.

This morning my thoughts drifted once again to the fact that my body is aging and I felt a nudge of sadness and just smidge of anger. Then I read 2 Corinthians 4:16 and smiled because Paul’s words remind me that age doesn’t diminish the Holy Spirit within me.

My aging body may not allow me to do all the things I love, but nothing can keep me from being in God’s presence. And nothing can separate me from God’s love.

Being old doesn’t mean I stop living a productive life. It means I live life differently or with modifications. Even in old age, I can praise the Lord, create new things, pray, learn, and stay active.

I can live a full, contented life no matter what my body tries to tell me because my inner self is renewed day by day.
