The weather is different. The air feels different. The traffic, neighborhoods and houses are different. The landscapes, sunrises and sunsets are different. My work and routine are different.
But although I’ve experienced a lot of changes since moving across country, much has stayed the same.
God has not changed. He still loves us and continues to demonstrate His love on a daily basis. He continues to guide us as we make decisions and remind us of His presence. He continues to open new avenues of friendship and reveal His purpose for our lives. God is still good.
The way people are has not changed. Some are nice, and some are not. Some are friendly, and some are not. Some are life-giving, and some drain the life out of you.
No matter where you go, people are searching for meaning, striving to improve, and possibly feel like something is missing. Even if they don’t always know what that is, the pace at which they try to find it continues.
There is still a need for kindness and understanding. There is still a need for gentleness, love and peace.
Surroundings change. Circumstances change. People and relationships change. But life goes on, bringing. Life brings good days and bad ones. It gives us days filled with joy and days filled with sadness. Life challenges us and life rewards us.
The circumstances and surroundings of my life have changed dramatically over the last several weeks. But I am still loved, I am still a child of God, and I am still living with the assurance that He takes pleasure in me.
You may not realize it, but the same is true for you. Whatever is or is not going on inside and around you, and whatever you have done or not done, God still loves you. Wherever you go, God is with you, and you are His child. Whatever happens or does not happen, you can live with the assurance that the One who created you takes great pleasure in you.
I hope you find peace in these certainties.
