My dear friend said that to me tonight and wow, just listen to that. Even when everything else in the world changes, He is the same. He is constant. He is relentless. I love that.
Life is hard. Sometimes people hurt us and, seemingly even more common, sometimes we hurt ourselves. Things we wanted to stay the same forever change (and let's be honest, once that happens, it's never going to go back to the way things were). That hurts. It hurts so much. Why can't things just stay the same? Why can't life just be this way all the time? I have asked myself this countless times. There really is no answer.
But...He is the same. Even when everything else in the world changes, He is the same. There's so much peace in that truth for me. He will not change even when my circumstances do. He will not change even when my attitude does. He will not change even when people do. He simply will not change.
So I will rest in Him. I will rest in His constancy when the world is spinning out of control or simply when my heart is screaming out for the way things used to be. I will curl up on His lap and lean into His heartbeat and let my Daddy be my Rock. My never-changing Rock that will keep me grounded in the painful change that is inevitable in life.
"Thank goodness He remains constant even when everything else in the world changes."
