" CHANGE "

" Change: " To Make or become different. God's love is Changeless. His Love and Kindness is everlasting. God's mercy to all who trust him is just as permanent as mercy. When the love of others fails or disappoints us, we can rest in God's enduring love. God is our foundation in the midst of change. My God is rock-firm, strong, and unchanging. In our fast-paced world, friends come and go, and circumstances change. It's difficult to find a solid foundation that will not change. Those who devote their lives to achievements, cause, or possessions have their security that which is finite and changeable. The possessions that we work so hard to obtain will all pass away. But God is always present. Hope in Him. He will Never Fail. God the Father can work a change in even the hardest heart. When you are ready to give up hope on yourself or others, remember that God can work a complete change in even the most selfish personality. Jesus may ask you to change life's direction after finding him as your Lord and Savior. Finding Jesus may mean that your life must take a different direction, one that is responsive and obedient to God's Word. Are you willing to be led a different way? LAST POINT: Change doesn't always come quickly. We often expect quick changes in our lives and quick victories over sin. But our journey with God is a lifelong process, and the changes and victories may take time. It is easy to grow impatient with God and feel like giving up hope because things are moving too slowly. When we are close to a situation, it is difficult to see progress. But when we look back we can see that God never stopped working. Until Next Time... Jim,
