Songs sing about it. Retailers sell it. Cosmetic companies advertise it.
Looking back at my twenty-something youthful years, before marriage, kids, careers, obligations, then yes, it was fun, exciting, freeing. But did I want to stay there? No! The job was just a job, not a passion that I loved. I wanted to keep moving forward.
So why now, as a wiser, older woman, would I want to be “that” again.
God did not mean for us to stay stagnant, to stay at that “one” age. He wants us to grow in faith, grow in love, grow in wisdom, grow in knowledge. If, as a believer, we are looking to grow up in our Christian walk, then shouldn’t our dress, our speech, our actions reflect this of a more mature Christian?
Job 12:12 ” Wisdom is with aged men, and with length of days, understanding.”
