Embrace It

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

John 14:27 

 

Perhaps it's because I'm just old and settled.  Perhaps I have become something of a curmudgeon.  But I am not a huge fan of change.  Change....disrupts my comfort with the moving and shifting around of what had become my routines.  But here's something to consider, and it's causing me more than a little discomfort, Life comes with Surprises! 

 

When life seems to be going my way, I am happy and thankful.  And the longer it seems to be going my way, the more I give in to the temptation to get comfortable.  Thus when change comes...I don't like it.  However, from Jesus' words to us, when everything else changes, God's presence never does!

 

As Jesus sends us into new adventures, we travel with the Holy Spirit!  Because of this constant, we can embrace what's next anchored in the fact of God's unchanging presence.  Change is not only part of life, it is also God's strategy to prepare us for His plans for us!  If we don't change, we don't grow and we don't learn!
