82 year old Christ follower by cindybeall.com



Dear 82-Year Old Follower Of Christ written by Cindy Beall at www.cindybeall.com
So, how have you done it?
How have you managed to maintain your faith in Christ all these years?
How have you handled the changes that you have certainly seen in your 82 years on this earth?
How have you dealt with the heartaches that you’ve most assuredly endured?
How have you chosen to trust God when everything around you seemed to be in shambles?
How have you done it?
Because, quite frankly, I want someone to ask me this when I’m 82 and I’ll need to know what to say.
You inspire me.

It is so encouraging to be around a person who has understand the love of Jesus for many many years, they still have the fire/zeal of God in their eyes, they still weep when talking about the cross...they still rejoice when someone far from God is reunited with God through Jesus...they still are faithful to the local church...they long to be in the presence of Christ in heaven, but they also long to see another generation take Christ to the nations...This week spend a few moments learning from a long time Christ-follower. -casey cariker
