It’s Never Too Late
It’s Never Too Late
ByOne of the worst mind-sets that we can develop is to think that with age our talents and abilities deteriorate. In the natural, that may be true. Yes our bodies naturally lose strength and our bones grow brittle. But I believe that in the supernatural, you are as young and strong as you feel and think.
Too often we fall prey to the mentality that if we haven’t ran that marathon by a certain age then it’s pointless to even attempt.
We let the world’s frame of thinking determine what the mode of our lives should be. In doing that it’s like leaving money on the table, we’re allowing our talents, passions, dreams and future to lye dormant and eventually perish.
Understand that your drive and passion is like a muscle, you have to exercise it in order for it to grow. The unfortunate thing is that with age we allow our own disappointments to discourage us from pursuing our dreams and visions. And as a result our drive and motivation dies down.
But be encouraged today! Know that it’s never too late to start that business that you’ve always wanted to start. It’s not too late to climb a mountain or run cross country. You may be looking at your physical attributes but know that God operates in the supernatural. In His eyes you’re just a young whipper snapper! It’s never too late to fulfill your destiny. Moses was eighty years old before God called Him. Dare you dream to embark on a lifelong journey and start afresh!
The scripture says to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you… another translation says to stir up the gifts that is within you.
Maybe you’ve been wanting to learn a new instrument – it’s not too late. Maybe you’ve been wanting to lose weight and get in shape – it’s not too late. Somebody probably told you that school is too far out of reach – it’s not too late. You might be wanting to start a family but you’re discouraged due to age and health reasons – it’s not too late, God is going to make a way out of what seems to be no way.
Be bold and courageous. Stand tall today and realize that you are in your prime! You can achieve greater things and rise to a new dimension! Tune out the voice of the nay-sayers. Know that you can do all things in Christ which strengthens you and God will indeed give you the strength to complete your assignment as you charge forth on your life journey!

Hi Jarrod,
I realize with each passing year that my talents and abilities mature and I am able to focus so much Energy on my activity that I am much better at most things now than I was even ten years ago. My heart is more open, my Spirit more full, my mind better focused. My body is in prime health because I allow it to be. I am approaching 40 and I em excited for all of the new adventures I shall allow to unfold. I don’t have expectations..I embrace the moment as it is given..and I cannot even imagine how the tapestry within my personal life that’s already been woven will continue to grow in texture and color…
You know what…I appreciate this. Because LORD KNOWS I needed to read this. It’s NEVER TOO LATE to pursue what God places on your heart to do. This is an on time word…As it FORCES me to recall that I can do ALL things THROUGH CHRIST who strengthens me.
TO God be all the glory. God bless you my brother in Jesus name. Praise God!
