Read Romans 10-12
Romans 12:3 says, "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." Even though we get older, we haven’t aged in our minds. There is a certain age we think ourselves to be at, no matter what the calendar, birth certificates, and mirrors say.
Our physical limitations surprise us. We’re frozen much younger in time, where people of our ages in our imaginations would easily have more stamina and energy and could do whatever it is we thought we could do.
Spiritually we can get better as we age. Our faith builds on God's work in our lives and the older we get, the higher the pile of things God has done for us. We may have to be realistic physically and others around us will remind us of how great we aren’t, if we’re not careful, but we can aim as high as we please for grace, for faith, and for God’s work in our lives.
