When you stay close to Christ, every day can be a fresh start, no matter your age.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and I’ll never forget the times I would go to visit Corrie ten Boom, the well-known Dutch Christian woman who, along with her family, helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II. For years, Corrie traveled and spoke around the world, sharing her story of hope; but after a stroke disabled her, Corrie could only go as far as her wheelchair took her. Though her tired and disabled body was approaching the winter of life, her smile was as bright as spring. What a fresh spirit she had, even in her 90s. It’s because Corrie held on to the promise of Isaiah 58 that says, “The Lord will guide you continually… He will make your bones strong; and you will be like a watered garden.” Friend, your body may be in the grip of winter, but your heart can know the joy of spring. When you stay close to Christ, every day can be a fresh start.
