Unchangeable

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

I change all the time. My likes and dislikes. My passions. My priorities. My promises. My maturity. So many things are not permanent. Thankfully there is always room to improve because that is what I need to do. I am never where I need to be or even where I want to be. I have so much going on in life that so often I feel that I can’t even keep track of it. I make promises I don’t keep. I mess up time after time. I have lived for pleasure one day and God the next. The fact that I change though is not a bad thing though. What I do with the change is what can be bad. If I live in a manner that rebels against the King, then I am utilizing the ability to change for evil. But, thanks to God and His amazing sacrifice for me, I can change for the better. I always have potential to do better in life. To be the person that I want to be, but most importantly the man that God desires me to be. That is such a sweet opportunity. To be able to change from a criminal (because sin is committing treason against God and the punishment is death), and become a new person, adopted by that King, given the chance to be a completely different person, the way I was designed to be. The reason I bring this up, is 1-to say that it is never too late to turn from your sin and start fresh. God would love it. and 2- because GOD NEVER CHANGES HIS MIND ABOUT ALLOWING THIS CHANGE TO HAPPEN IN US! That is so amazing that God, the Creator, the Savior, the KING, allows us to change and be a new creation in Him, and He doesn’t change His mind about it. He doesn’t just decide one day that the people that followed Him are no longer His children, that they are no longer saved. He means it when you are saved. God, who is merciful, loving, perfect, holy, almighty, all knowing, always there, He can perfectly relate to anything you are going through, and He does not change His mind about you and how much He loves you as His child. This does not mean to take advantage of His grace, because that is a demonstration of a lack of love towards Him. It shows that you truly don’t care about what He has done for you. You are not disgusted with your sin, instead, you love it when you have this attitude.

Our God never changes. He will never let you down, He will NEVER leave you. He is always there for you and always loves you. Give yourself to Him.
