What is all this about the so-called old that makes limitations seem to be foregone conclusions? Old age seems to have a narrow range of prediction, well, predicted only as… old.
The world may look at the so-called old as some lesser kind of being who descended to Earth shriveled and referred to simply as the Old as if they had never lived, as if they had never raised a family and moved youthfully in the world, as if they, the experienced, have no further contributions to make, as if the old have no future and couldn’t really have had a past. Is the world saying that the grouped old are no more than water under the bridge?
Oh, sure, certainly, older people have become good sports, pushed along in wheel chairs, facing a blank wall or the TV like good guests. I, God, pray to Myself:
“Oh, please, God, don’t be so willing to let life for the longest-lived be grim and that the world relegate them to a non-status. Must the so-called elderly be housed together at a way-station and just wait their turn before being shipped off to the wild blue yonder? God, what happened to Your gift of a purpose to every soul on Earth?
"Age does not have to be presumed to be as it seems to be today, as an off-shoot of life. What excuse is there for this? Come, paint a better picture. Who can look forward to old age as it is portrayed in modern times? Could You, God? Who could? Old age as it is seen today is nothing more than an idea. Can it be Your idea, God?
"Who would look forward to not walking, running, etc. Who in one’s right mind would look forward to what society propels before the world? Who would say: 'Oh, boy, isn’t it terrific to look forward to losing the use of my body and my faculties, to be dependent upon others, to be confined and just while away my days without a trace of a sense of usefulness. Oh, no.' "
Unfortunately, this is the picture that much of the world paints before My beloved children who have been around the block. Come now, who would raise his or her hand and wave it around excitedly, eager to be chosen to line up at the entrance gate? Who would want to be relegated to this ritual? Where is the bonus? Where is what can be?
Yes, of course, all older human beings have earned privileges. Let them earn more favorable privileges and a more favorable outlook. These are My children We are talking about.
Who decided that the wisest people on Earth are supposed to be put out to pasture, and a pasture that may well not include even fresh air? Fresh air would be a minimum, wouldn’t you think? Fresh air belongs at the top of the list.
Look, I value social systems today for putting forth what they put forth, and I desire that the world be given good go-aheads so they can accomplish more. May enough individuals grow in consciousness so that We can offer more than survival and speak of more than survival. Survival is not enough. Survival – what’s that? What does that mean? Sitting life out is not enough, not for the young and not for the old.
It is My desire to work wonders in all areas of the world today. Let’s get some energy out there. Let’s have higher expectations. Let's intend and extend. Let's move forward and give My children of all ages more love.
