"you who say, "today or tomorrow..." How Do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog-it's here a little while, then it's gone. What you ought to say is, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that." Remember it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it." Js.4:13-17. This blog is about doing something HERE AND NOW to serve God & show people in a tangible way that God loves them.

Never Changes
You know I really have been taken back by just how many people are blown away by the fact that my faith in God has not been shaken in all this. I guess I really just don't get why it would be. I mean Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8) He NEVER changes! How comforting is that in this world where you can not put your faith in anything. There is nothing in this world that we can count on and depend on that is guaranteed to stay the same. TRUST me on this one;) The ONLY one we can rely on without fail is Jesus Christ. My entire world has been flipped completely upside down and I am living my greatest fear every single day. I am living the one thing I thought I would never be able to survive. I could get mad at God I guess, but I just don't see how it is His fault. It was a series of bad decisions that got us here. Could God have forced the right decisions to be made? Yeah, I suppose, but if God made all those decisions for us so that we would always do what is right, we would not have free will. We would never truly be able to choose to love Him and that would not really be love at all. We would all just be mindless robots made to do God's bidding, but He desired so badly to have a genuine relationship with us. He gave us the free will to choose if that is what we wanted knowing that some would choose otherwise and cause Him great pain through it all. That is how much He loves us! And that is why I continue to love and praise Him! And that is why we need to continue to praise Him in the hard times as well as the good times, because despite our circumstances changing He has NOT changed! He is still the same! He will never forsake us and He is still worthy of all our praise yesterday, today and forever!
