Allow me to pitch this out to you with little or no elaboration from me. It’s your turn.
John 15:5 (TLV) 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing. Romans 11:16 (KJV) 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. source
Last week I posted Dear Younger Me, the video by Mercy Me. Off and on since then I have continued to listen to it. As it streams, I think of my Grand-babies – they are not younger me(s) but they do have some of those genes if you know what I mean. :)
And so for them my heart’s cry is Dear Younger You(s) please hear. Please hear that you are loved and the Cross of JESUS is where you will find LIFE and more fun and adventure and purpose that you will find anywhere else! Listen to an old woman who used to be younger too. While all that was did bring me to where I am, for which I am way grateful!; still there was a more direct path that would have been a lot more fun, adventurous and punctuated with higher purposes.
Dear Younger You(s), try that less traveled path with a genuine heart and you will be glad you did. Warning though. Let no one convince you it’s a path for sissies or whiners. Look closely at the lives of those who give you counsel before you heed the words they say — even older me. :)
John 10:10 (NKJV)10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.source
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
