The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a
cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the
courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh
and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no
wickedness in Him.
Psalm 92: 12-15
Dear family
and friends of the Blog, while the youth is a stage that passes very quickly,
and it’s remembered for some people with nostalgia, I want to talk to you to
enjoy the different seasons of life since I have gone through all of
them. Every season of life teaches us very important things that I want to
share with you. I hope you understand, practice, and enjoy them.
Youth is
a brief time unforgettable, romantic, vibrant, emotional, and happy. It’s a joyful, creative and vigorous season in
which everything is fresh and new as a cloud in the sky with pink color. It is a
stage of vigor and strength in that we never thought it’s going to finish. It’s
a spring stage with a radiant sunshine in the morning in which
everything has a beautiful look. But we must also recognize that the youth
is also a time full of struggles, concerns, and never free of uncertainties,
jealousy, fears, competencies, rivalries and anxieties. It is as a race we must
compete for a coveted trophy; to know that this long awaited trophy is
fleeting, ephemeral, rusts, and perishable. It is the cause because I
advise the youth to fight for the true trophy that is "the eternal life in Heaven ".There
we will enjoy of a joy that never ends, while in this life the joys are
fleeting. Remember everybody that we don’t know with certainty when the
youth leaves us, it’s a time in that everything slows down your gear or stops
without hurry within ourselves.
Let me tell
you that the maturity is not exactly the noon or the night of life; rather
it is that vague point of life that arrives in the smiling springs of a
beautiful afternoon. Do not forget that the reach maturity, almost all the
doubts and uncertainties that we had when we were young cease. The
treasure of the youth is gone soon to not return. Maturity is the art of living
in peace with what is impossible to change. The old age is the decline of
a day full of illusions. But keep in mind that the soul never gets old, even
though the external body deteriorates. This is why we should never stop
the desire to live and dream. We are
old when we close the mind to new ideas and we become radical. We are old when
we only think in ourselves and forget the others. We are old when we cease to
fight. We are old when we stop our ablutions daily. In the youth we learn,
in the maturity we understand, and in old age, we enjoy. Remember, young is the
one who is able to fascinate and marvel with the blessings of God and his
creation and that as a child always ask questions although he or her is
old. I tell you that all of us want to live for many years, but none of us
want aging. The old age is beautiful when we enjoyed it with the Lord Jesus
Christ. I don’t Know in what stage of life you find yourself,
but whatever I know you need for Jesus Christ! Please repeat with me this
prayer of faith:
Heavenly Father, I believe in the perfect sacrifice
that you did on the cross for humanity. I know that I am a sinner; please
forgive me all my sins, clean me with your precious blood. Make me a new
creature.
I accepted You in
my heart as my Lord and personal Savior because I know that you died on the
cross for me to get me away from the slavery of sin. And I also know that
You rose from the dead, and You are in Heaven now. Please write my name in the
Book of Life so that I can be in Heaven with You forever. And I ask all this in
your holy name, O Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
With love,
Maria
