Positive Daily Inspiration - December 16, 2022 - Stages of Life

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.”
2 Corinthians 5:17

Are you moving into an important new stage in life? Through marrying, or separating, overcoming an unhealthy habit, experiencing retirement, or moving to a new location, you may feel as if you are leaving behind “familiar you” to become a “new you.”

I was just talking on the phone to an old friend who is seriously considering relocating, so that he can get back into life, as he put it. Times like this take great courage, leaving behind the familiar, for the unknown. My friend will be just fine because he is very aware that God will go ahead of him preparing the way for his good, and the good that he can do for others.

You may feel at odds with yourself as you prepare to go into a different stage of life and, at the same time, feel both the eager and anxious about who you are becoming.

Although this stage in life may feel like a leap in faith, you can make it! You are willing to stretch beyond any preconceived limits that you yourself or others, however unintentionally, have outlined for you.

You are daily becoming a new creation in Christ. Each new adventure is a leap of faith; however, your faith is founded on the presence of God with you. The new you that is emerging is patterned in the perfection of the Christ.

As I write this, I look back on my life, and it is as if I have lived in many lifetimes, each time was richer than the last, the stages that I have been through, although sometimes painful when going through them, have all, prepared me for the great times now, and immediately ahead in the future.

You know that every day brings added opportunities to learn what you need to know. When the same pattern repeats itself in your experiences, life may be telling you that you have homework to do. Further growth is needed, and it waits to unfold in you.

You learn that you have the power to change a circumstance by changing your attitude about it, or the energy that you contribute to it. For instance, you may need to correct the pattern of thought or action you have been following and find a better way, the Christ Way, to overcome some challenge.

In the stages of life, you need never depart from the experience of learning. Most important, your Teacher, is God, and God is always with you. With God’s help, the old will pass away and the new will come. God is waiting to help you into your next stage of life. God is willing to come through you as you work in the arena of your new endeavor. God is your constant companion in your help in every need. Life is exciting, and there is nothing as exciting, or fulfilling as our next stage of unfoldment.
