Life has value even in old age.
Our lives have worth regardless of age. Too many elderly folk lose their sense of self worth. Rejection by family, being put into old age homes and never or seldom visited, is a major contribution to this feeling of worthlessness. Life circumstances should never dictate our worth. We all have something to give. It doesn’t always have to be something we make with our hands. It can be a listening ear and a praying heart. It can be a word of wisdom or a kind word or gesture. Never sell yourselves short. GOD values you beyond all the treasures of the world. He gave His Son to the Pharisees who falsely accused, jeered and punched Him, to the soldiers who stripped and scourged Him and bowed mockingly before Him and the executioners who crucified Him to redeem us.
You look in the mirror and see a frail old person looking back at you. GOD sees His beloved child, the perfect image of Himself.
