The Joy of Change


Like it or not, constant change is part of modern life. What in the world doesn't change?

1. God'l love
2. Friendship with His Son
3. The power of the Holy Spirit

When you think you've had just about all the change you can stand, reach out and take one step further into God's wide arms. Though his love, friendship and power never change, He made you with a big elastic spiritual cord that stretches with every tug and pull. He knows exactly how much give it's got. If He's calling you to stretch, He knows you've got what it takes. Reach!

God knows change can make your life richer. Live for today but hold your hands open to tomorrow. Anticipate the future and its changes with joy. There is a seed of God's love in every event, every circumstance, every unpleasant situation in which you may find yourself. Don't get stuck in a rut or hung up on an outdated blessing. You serve a God of change!

Change is so hard sometimes! But it's the one thing that will continue to happen. Change is a part of life.

Your words were just what I needed to "hear" this morning - so, thank you- To be a messenger of God is an awesome thing and I think He does work in "mysterious" ways. I appreciate you & your blog - I feel I have made another friend.
