Tailor-Made
Lucille Ball said the secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. It’s hard to lie about the obvious. When you’re young you make a lot of faces in the mirror. When you’re old the mirror gets even.
Growing older. Aging. We laugh about it and we groan about it. We resist it, but we can’t stop it. And with the chuckles and wrinkles come some serious thoughts and questions about what happens when we die.
God is doing what any father would do. He’s providing a better place for us. A place to rest. A place He has prepared for us. Heaven isn’t mass-produced; it’s tailor-made. We must trust God. We must trust not only that He does what is best, but that He knows what’s ahead.
This world wears like a borrowed shirt. Heaven will fit like one tailor-made!
