When I was a boy, God was a mystery. When I grew to myself and loved the world, God became distant. When I became a parent, I asked God for guidance. He answered, "I am always here." When I had teenagers, my soul was broken, and I lived in Christ's grace. When I surrendered it all, Christ became the owner of my life. When I became a grandfather, Christ's love shone through me. When I ran my race my way, I failed. When I run my race for Christ, I will never fail.

2 Timothy 4:7.
