I broke from the reading schedule today because I came across a great note, while preparing my thoughts for the branch meeting, and decided to share that note with you. The quote I want to share stems from a verse in Corinthians where Paul teaches us the value of eternal glory as opposed to the trials we encounter in our mortal existence...
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day."...The inward man is renewed day by day," what a fantastic line. It truly is an important idea to grab hold of and Hugh W. Pinnock makes it more accessible with his 1979 October General Conference talk, We Will Go with Our Young and with Our Old...
Life is not stationary. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years all tick away at the same clip for everyone. No age-group can be isolated. None of us can settle into infancy, youth, middle age, or old age. We all grow older, and, incidentally, it is an exciting thought if the accent is on growing...We all grow older and cannot allow that growth to happen without positive gain in wisdom and love.
~Kipling
