When I take a look in the mirror, reality hits. And if I really want to punish myself, I pick up the mirror that magnifies a hundered times. That one always drives me to chocolate. Just once I would like for the mirror to lie to me. The bottom line? I'm growing older. So what? There are worse things right? Say, like a chocolate strike! :)
My body may be wasting away, but the more time I spend with the Lord, the more my inner self is being renewed. 2 Corinthians 4:16 says, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."
Now, don't get me wrong. I think it's perfectly fine to look our best. After all, we represent Jesus, and we want to look and be our best for His glory. I have finally come to the conclusion that there's not enough cold cream on the face of this earth to get rid of all my wrinkles. I am learing to be at peace with who I am at this age. There is comfort in knowing that true beauty shines from the inside out. That's why there are so many sweet grandmas spreading joy in our world...they've spent plenty of time in His presence.
In His Grip,
Dalinda
