So long as it receives a message of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage - so long are you young. When the wires are all down and your heart is covered with the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old. Sunset years need not be years of loneliness, remorse and despair. Sunrise and sunset are both lavished with God-chosen colors. Remember, for the Christian an earthly sunset must come before a heavenly sunrise.
Faith is trust.
You are as young as your hope. Your dark nights of despair can be brightened by the star of hope. Without eternal hope, life has no meaning. But with hope, life is one exciting adventure after another, and even the hereafter holds no fear for the hope-filled soul. What wonderful hope filled David's heart.
