I've been teaching Sunday School this summer at my church and today I have to give a lesson about God being unchanging. I really needed this reminder in my life currently. It's been a difficult season with many changes. I feel as if life has been nothing but change for the past few years actually. Life has definitely not felt very constant. But God never changes. In Malachi 3:6, God says, "I the LORD do not change, so you, oh descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed." Because God never changes His love stays the same. My teaching partner for Sunday School reminded me of the story of the prodigal son. He was kind of a loose cannon and left. Throughout that story though, God's love for the son never changes. That's His love for us folks. His love for us never changes. No matter what. I needed that reminder this morning. I think a lot of times when we mess up, we think that God hates us but this is far from truth. God does not change. In Hebrews 3:8 it says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He does not change. Let's stop thinking God looks down on us when we mess up and start picking up His beautiful grace that is freely given. For His love never changes, it remains the same.
