Unchanging

Would you like it if a person you love so dearly would always love you, whatever comes in the way? Isn't this what we all want? To be loved and appreciated by our loved ones, never having to worry whether they like us when we wake up, whether they like us when our (girls XD) eye liner is smudged, without worrying whether they still love us after enduring a very embarassing moment? wouldn't it be great if we're carefree, not worrying if the person is going to change his mind about us?

Maybe sometimes, teachers might change their opinion about you if you havent reached the high standard they've been expecting... But don't worry, "The Lord does not change" (Mal. 3:6)

Maybe sometimes, people claim to be your friends but act the contrary when they aren't around you... take courage, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8).

Maybe sometimes, your crush seems to like you but the next day they set eyes on someone else... Hold fast, "God's word is settled in heaven; it will not change."(Ps. 119:89)

This is true because:
"38 ...neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!" (Romans 8: 38-39)

This is what God's been showing me: that with Him, I can forget all these worries... He's unchanging and my stability can only be reached through Him. Sometimes we tend to worry too much about these, but forget that what counts most is what God thinks. We might not be perfect in people's eyes, but we're irreplaceable in God's. People's thoughts about us might change, but God will see what there is deep down in our hearts.

quoting what I put on the last post regarding God's facebook:

God is unchanging.

Going back several years, my favourite band used to sing 'Everything Changes But You'. They were singing about some girl but that's rubbish as none of us stay the same -we go up and down, have good moods and bad moods the only one we could ever say 'everything changes but you' of is God. Malachi 3.6 says 'I, Yahweh, do not change' and in Hebrews 13v8 we read that Jesus is the same, yesterday and today and forever.

Being around someone who is utterly consistent is so safe and peaceful because we don't have to worry about where we stand or what's going to be thrown our way. And that's what we have in all perfection in our God. As we approach him in prayer and worship we don't have to worry that he might be in a bad mood with us today - we know our God is unchanging, always the same.




tc friends,
and keep close to the One who loves you the most :)
