Change

This past week I've realized how much people change

Family Picture in Dec 2007

I'm reminded of this often when I talk to my little brothers at home. Almost every time my mom sends me a picture I am astonished at how much they grow. And when I was showing  one of my housemates old pictures of my family. If you look at the pictures, my family has changed immensely over four years.

Then, I was skyping yesterday with a friend from home yesterday. She and I hadn't talked in a while and therefore we spent a lot of time catching up. And as we do almost every time we talked, we discussed how much we have changed in the many years we've known each other. We joked about how we thought we were so old when we were 16. We were almost upper classmen in highschool; we could drive; we were practically adults! But since then we have changed so much.

And then in my devotions today I was reminded of the unchanging character of God. In a world that is constantly changing, it's so assuring to know that God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Some of you already know this. But how often do you dwell on the fact that God never changes! He is secure and reliable. Never will he change. I don't know about you, but for me, this is something that I want to dwell on more often. It is so comforting to have a God that I can rely on. :~)
