Getting the RIGHT Perspective of Getting Older
We all hate getting old. But by having the right perspective we can have rich meaningful lives until the day we die.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with life’s hardships that you felt like you couldn’t go through another day? I certainly have—many times! I am so grateful the Lord has taught me to run to Jesus during those times—to the ONLY ONE who can help me. Without Jesus, I would be utterly consumed by my troubles. That’s because believers in Jesus Christ have His blood coursing through our veins—restoring us, refreshing us, and renewing us! Christ's Blood gives us life!
In this learning to be content series I have done my best to explain what it means to be content and how to achieve it—no matter our circumstances. But unless you apply it, you won’t be able to experience the abundant life. Read how I applied it to my life in a very difficult trial. I did learn to be content!
We all want to be content. God made us that way. And we can all learn if we do it God’s way! Learn how with these 7 keys.
Learning—that is the operative word here. We’re not born content. But the Lord wants to teach us. The first and most important key is putting God first. A contented heart flows from a heart after God.
What is your definition of contentment? If you think it means NO challenges, pain, or stress, you will never be content in life! Jesus said in this world we would have tribulation (Jn 16:33). Yet God wants us to be content, and even commands it (Heb 13:5). So we need to figure out what God means by being content and how the Apostle Paul could say, “For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”
It’s so easy to complain and grumble. How did the Apostle Paul learn to be content in ANY circumstance? This is the first of a 7-part series on how to have a contented and grateful heart in 2023. If you find yourself complaining often and feeling empty inside, please read on.
If you and I want more of Jesus, then we will have to give Him MORE of ourselves.
Learn why we still struggle in living the Christian life!
What is a miracle? How you define it greatly affects the way you live life!
