Heart in the old maple tree by Dee Kamp
The Heart Never Wrinkles
The other day when it
was cold and gray outside I looked forward to reading my new spring magazine
filled with fresh spring photos, and ideas for the garden. But to my
frustration I found I must first wade through pages of the latest creams and
ointments guaranteed to keep me youthful looking.
Then I giggled at the memory from a
long time ago and my husband sitting across the room asks, “What’s so amusing
there?”
“Remember that dear
older woman named Mary at that first church we attended? It’s her words that
have come to my mind right now. She said, ‘You know dear, the heart never wrinkles,
and the soul never ages – it lives forever in the Lord.’”
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,
and the follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one
can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more
powerful than anyone else. ….”John 10:27-29 NLT
This
is one of the clearest parables of Jesus’ promise to give eternal life to those
who believe, follow Him. It is what heals a broken heart and fills in its
wrinkles from time and trials in our journey through life.
God’s Word sends us a powerful message –an eternal
promise for life that nothing else in this world can possibly offer. Live life
with an eternal perspective. It is the one promise that will keep our hearts young
forever. Be affirmed by His amazing unfailing love and His wonderful promise in
Jesus.
Our heart can sing a
song of rejoicing that all the world can see by our hope in Him. Let us share this
great truth; the heart never wrinkles and the soul never dies when all is given
to Jesus.
