‘Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dear Steve:

After 100 years keep hope going. Make some of your best memories happen today. Start an inspiring project that will take a while.

Every moment of life is an opportunity to gain wisdom and to appreciate each breath. Allow no time for monotony. You’ve got work to do, songs to sing, people to encourage, and life to enjoy. Now get to it!

You haven’t lost your prime; you’ve been given the gift of more time. Keep allowing the living Jesus to sound His beautiful chimes in your heart. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Keep celebrating His presence and telling His story until you go out in a blaze of His glory and then enjoy His presence forever and ever. Amen!

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” –2 Corinthians 4:16-18.

“Work as if you were going to live a (another) hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.” –Benjamin Franklin

It’s all about Jesus!

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
