BATTLE LINES
by Lewis E. Thomas BATTLE LINES
She has grown old and she has many wrinkles and lines of age upon her face!
She is an old saint of God who was saved by God's "AMAZING GRACE"!
She has scars on her body and scars on her heart and her soul!
She has fought many "Physical and Spiritual Battles" that have transformed her into a beautiful and holy "VESSEL OF GOLD"!
When you look into her face and see the many lines and wrinkles therein!
Those lines and wrinkles were formed as she endured for decades the "Storms of Life" and the "Forces of Sin"!
When you look at old Christian Warriors with their wrinkled brows and their aged and weathered looking faces!
Remember to honor them for "FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT" and "remaining" in God's good graces!
If you are a young Christian who has a smooth face because you are still in your "PRIME"!
Don't allow yourself to get too vain or too puffed up in your mind!
As the days, months, years, and decades stack up and quickly go by!
You'll become wiser as you see those wrinkles, and lines begin to form around "YOUR" eyes!
As you weep over lost loved ones and over things that break your heart and try your soul!
Life will put many scars on "your" heart and many scars on "your" soul!
As you grow old, "BE GREATFUL" for those scars and those battle lines that are imprinted on your face!
Wear them with honor as a "FAITHFUL OLD WARRIOR" who "FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, WHO FINISHED THE COURSE, AND WHO KEPT THE FAITH!
