Longing for permanence

For I am the LORD, I change not 
(Malachi 3:6)

We humans long for permanence in our lives. Have you noticed that? We want relationships to last forever. We don't want people to leave our lives. We grieve change when circumstances that have blessed us come to an end. 

Our longing for permanence is a fingerprint of God reminding us that  we were meant for eternity. Eternity: a place where we will always be with our first love. Eternity: a place where health never fails, a place where people never die. A place we don't have to leave.

Christian, when you are mourning an unwanted change in your life, let it point you to eternity. Let it point you to your Jesus who loves you with and everlasting love and changes not. 

Like Moses we can say, "Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations!" 
(Psalm 90:1 ESV)
