I'm talking to somebody today about making peace with your past so that you don't spend the rest of your life trying to get back somewhere that there's no boat to take you back.

But there is strength to bloom where you're planted and the prosper where you are, you have to be good with being you.

You have to mature to consider consequences.

By the time you're in your 30s, you ought to be grappling after something, trying to build something, trying to do something, trying to become something.

That's why I love what we're doing and what we're getting ready to do with our young adults because those are your building years, your 30s and your 40s are your building years, those are your building years, those are your formation years, those are your development years, those are the make or break you years.

When you get in your 50s and 60s, you begin to recognize that I can still win and I can still accomplish some things but you start to begin to recognize I may not get what I thought I would get when I started.

And if you don't learn how to be good with that, you'll become a saw to some David.

And you'll end up trying to kill somebody who's coming because you wasted your turn.

Can I go a little bit deeper?

Making peace with your past doesn't just mean making peace with your sins.

It means making peace with your station in life.

Getting to a place where I'm good with it.

I'll examine the coppersmith, hate me but I'm good with it.

I'm going to put that over in the I'm good with it, call them because I got to balance these books.

I'm good with the fact that I still can see further than I will ever be able to go.

By the time you get to your 70s, you start to begin to understand that I can see further than I can reach.

And if you're not good with that, you'll become bitter and you'll become a hater and you'll start trying to destroy people who have more time and more energy.

Then you do.

What is a sign of maturity is when you have made peace with where you are.

That's why the Bible says, watch this.

Godliness with contentment is great gain to be contented.

That means that you don't have ambition.
