I Am the Lord, I change not...

"Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy Compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
"

"Great is Thy Faithfulness! Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided -
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord , unto me!"
~ Wm Runyan

"I the Lord do not change.
So you , O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed."
- Malachi 3:6


It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, ... All things else have changed-all things are changing. ... the heavens and earth must soon pass away...

He has ever been the Refuge of his people, their Stronghold in the day of trouble, and He is their sure Helper still. He is Unchanged in His Love. He has loved His people with "an Everlasting Love"; He loves them now as much as ever He did... ~ Spurgeon


Dear Eternal One,
I sigh with relief that when everything around me changes, I run to Your Everlasting Arms. My country has changed. My state has changed. You know how passionate I am about being patriotic. These earthly bonds are breaking and I long for Home. I cannot wait.

Friendships change and some fail. Keeping the adventures sacred and allowing You to work.... I run to Your Everlasting Arms. You are my Storehouse of Wisdom. Today I heard You whisper "enjoy" .... I really needed to be reminded to enjoy their treasure. 'Thy Compassions fail not' ... my heart longs to 'restore its borrowed ray'.
~ always yours
