As a 56 year old woman who had walked away from church for over a decade and then returned, I felt like I had missed the boat and lost my chance to do anything worthwhile for God. I especially felt I had let down my family. When our children were very young we had taken them to church and prayed with them. When we turned away from church I prayed in private.
When a crisis occurred in our family, my husband and I returned to praying together. God put people in our path to light the way back to Him, and I am eternally grateful to them. During COVID in 2020 we returned to church online and eventually we went in person.
I was painfully aware of the lost years. I felt a failure and that we had missed our chance of raising our children as Christians. When talking with other older Christians I became aware that some of them were living with regrets and felt that their hopes had not been fulfilled.
The Holy Spirit spoke to me softly, gently, to write a blog for older Christians. I was like Gideon and Moses, telling Him all the reasons I was unsuited for this.
- I don’t have any qualifications in writing or ministry.
- I’m not a theologian.
- People will think I’m a fraud.
But God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.
He asks for surrender. He works through our weaknesses so He might be glorified.
So I surrendered and I obeyed. And this is where Jesus 4 Generations was born.
Firstly, I am not a theologian or religious scholar. I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother of 3, Nanny of 7, nurse and most importantly, devoted lover of Jesus.
I hope to write fortnightly posts, about real life and practical suggestions to encourage you lean on God in every situation. In each post, I hope to impart Jesus’ message of peace, hope, love, joy and salvation to all. I welcome your questions and testimonies. I pray you find it helpful and inspiring.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that it is never too late to return to You.
Heal any regret, shame, or fear that tells us we have missed our moment.
Renew our hope, strengthen our faith, and help us run the race You have set before us with joy and purpose.
Teach us to trust that right now is always the best time to begin with You.
Amen.
Activation
This week, take one small step:
- Ask God where He is inviting you to begin again.
- Pray for one person in your family or circle who needs hope.
- Share one story of God’s faithfulness, past or present, with someone you trust.
Small steps, taken in faith, can have generational impact.
