In school, many years ago, I remembering reading on those explorers who traveled thousands of miles to find the Fountain of Youth. And one such traveler who came across the seas believed he had located this "fountain" in Florida.
Now this Ponce de Leon was told by Native Americans where this great restorer was located.
Being that this all took place in the 16th century, I am not certain those original communicators of that region and time would be available for a comment on this subject.
In Ponce de Leon's writings, nothing was ever mentioned about the course he took, where Bemini might be. Of course we know today that it is found or was thought to be in the area of Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Although mythical in nature, still the land was thought to hold wealth and prosperity who came and took it.
What people will do for a make-over! Yet God's Word is a true youth maker. In reading and depositing His Word in our hearts, we make our stand in life for Him. It reading and depositing that Word of faith, we believe we are the youthful. We can do exploits because the Word of God tells us that. He confirms it. He sent Jesus. Enough said, "right?"
Seriously, people will travel, seek out and find the latest and the greatest thing in the land. What culture proclaims, do we run to take and use that which may cause harm to the body that God created.
Endeavoring to really please God is seeing that He is pleased with us because He sent His Son.
Malls were not around in the 16th century, at least not to my knowledge at this time. But I do know God has been around forever. He has been tested and proved. He is the FAITHFUL AND THE TRUE!
The best place to look for a change, is of course the heart.
He promises us a blessed life. And trials and tribulations are given in the word as well. But where these people of the Bible were blessed, you can see it in the pages of those like Abraham and Sarah. Look at how old she was, and other men desired her. She had to have been a really beautiful woman.
The Lord makes us strong where we are weak. He makes us sound good when we seek to please Him in the Word. We learn to worship in grace. We learn and begin to see with His eyes.........and the beauty before us.
Truly beauty fills Heaven and everything God has touched.
Have you allowed Him to touch your heart..........so your face will smooth out.........with no more worry lines? Have you allowed Him to give details of your future life with Him?
No!
Well, take the Word.......and read it. Take a mirror and view yourself in it. Take a picture and mark this day as the STARTING LINE.........THAT STARTING MOMENT TO HAVE THINGS CHANGE FOR GOOD!
Seek God, open up His Light and let it fill every low place, and every dark place, and see the smile return to that which you remember seeing long ago.
Go now...........start that MAKEOVER and see what God will do for you..............!
Glory to YOUR Name, O LORD........You are high and lifted up today....Amen!
