Dear All,
I don't know if you read the blog by Miriam Rockness about Lilias Trotter, but today is such a good one I want to share it with you. It is about kindness and how it changes us and others. With the season of Thanksgiving upon us and Christmas around the corner, this short devotional may change the way we journey through it. Another changing season ... enjoy...
I just downloaded an upgrade for my Mac. One change that came with it ... I was able to answer a phone call with my iPad! At first, I didn't know what to do. But, I couldn't find my phone so I tapped that little green button that said, "accept". And, voila! I was speaking to my sister. Now, I can text through my computer, make a call from my iPad, and well, as it has been all along, I can do almost anything with my phone. Changing seasons.
These changes only make me aware of other changes happening around us all the time. There are changes in the natural world, the nations of the world, our communities, our churches, our families. There are changes in the seasons, in knowledge and understanding, in laws and governing, in relationships, in treaties, in headlines, in ... fill in the blank. It was Heraclitis that said, "Change is the only constant in life."
So, how will we face these changes?
In the love of God our Father.
And, we will walk into them with courage and faith in His love for us to keep us and guide us and save us from all the unknown of these changes. In change we have no fear ... because we know that God our Father is for us.
This song from Bethel Music has become one of my favorites for this changing season that I live in. I hope it will encourage you as well for whatever season you find yourself in. The words of the song follow the video.
I stand before You now
The greatness of Your renown
I have heard of the majesty and wonder of You
King of Heaven in humility I bow
As Your love, in wave after wave
Crashes over me, crashes over me
For You are for us, You are not against us
Champion of Heaven You made a way for all to enter in (to Your love)
