“但他们甚么时候归向主,这帕子就甚么时候除掉了。”
哥林多后书 3:16
“but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
2 Corinthians 3:16
We can’t do much about the faces we were born with, but we can do something about the kind of person we’re growing into. We can pray for humility, patience, kindness, tolerance, gratefulness, forgiveness, peace, and love (Galatians 5:22–26).
By God’s grace, and in His time, may you and I grow toward an inner resemblance to our Lord, a likeness reflected in a kind, old face. Thus, as English poet John Donne (1572–1631) said, age becomes “loveliest at the latest day.”
Lord Jesus,
I want to be more like You each day.
Help me to cooperate with the work You want to do in my heart.
There’s nothing like the beauty of a loving heart.
