We generally think about the second half of life in terms of retirement, old age, and tackling health issues. It is not a loss but somehow a gain.
Moving to the second half of life is a rebirth, the experience of going deeper where the soul has found its fullness and we are consciously connected to the whole.
This coming to human fullness often happens through pain and suffering, through spiritual birth pains.
Life always gives us opportunities to discover our image and develop our likeness, often in the form of necessary stumbling and falling. Challenges and disruptions that move us from forming and serving the ego to serving the soul.
Colossians 3:3-4 “For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all His glory.”
