The first day in the year of 2015.
While 2014 brought a lot of change in my life, it also brought many reminders that no matter what happens, no matter what changes, God will never change. He is the same yesterday, today, forever.
God has always been a faithful God, and He will always be a faithful God.
God has always been a loving Father, and He will always continue to be a loving Father.
God has always been a solid rock, and He will always be there to hold me steady.
God has always been there for me, He will always be there for me.
Sometimes I tell people "You're awesome! Don't you ever change!". Well, we are only human. We change. Whether it is on purpose or subconsciously, everybody changes. We can change for the better, we can change for the worse. Whatever it is, there is no denying that as human beings, it is in our nature to change.
I'm so glad that God doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. I never have to fear that God will suddenly stop loving me just because I've done something wrong; I don't need to worry about my future because I know He has had a perfect future planned for me from even before I came into this world; I'm not afraid that bad things are happening because God is trying to punish the people, because I know God is a God of love, and love so great that everything we have ever done that deserves punishment has been put upon Jesus' shoulders, and Jesus has taken the punishment for anyone who believes in Him, so I know, I am certain without a shadow of a doubt, that whatever disasters and whatever horrible things that happens, it is not a sign of punishment. The punishment had already been taken by Jesus, by the blood that was shed by the one perfect man who chose to came down for us. For me. Wow.
Well, 2015. Bring it on!
I've never been one for new year's resolutions, but I do have to say that for 2015, I just want to learn to love Jesus more, for the love of God to mould me into the person He wants me to be, and for that love to guide me in all I do. I will definitely stumble here and there, but I look forward to a brand new year of me learning to trust in the Lord more and learning more about Him.
Happy new year, everyone! :)
