nothing
is the same
a statement perhaps obvious
yet a statement profound
each moment new
different from moment past
some differ subtle
others differ obtrusive
some welcome
some not
what was no longer is
what held security no longer does
what seemed so right now seems not so
change is living
living is change
to live is to change
to change is to live
I love the routine
I love the secure
I love the same
change tends to unnerve
new tends to frighten
yet He is changing not only around me
but IN me...
I ask "what is next?"
He answers "I am"
I ask "why am I here?"
He answers "for Me"
I ask "but where would you have me?"
He answers "in Me"
He quietly whispers to my heart
"My beloved...
your thoughts focus on
what you do and how much you do
you so easily slip into
thinking you must somehow
help Me plan your life...
your ministry...
your reason
for being...
nothing could be further from the truth
your worth is found in Me alone...
in My love for you
you are My bride
you are My love
My love is unchanging...
the sun rises the sun sets
tides come in tides go out
rain falls sun shines rainbows shimmer
spring follows winter
summer follows spring
autumn follows summer
winter follows autumn
all of creation shouts of My love
all of creation whispers of My love
I am love
I am the same as I was yesterday
and will be tomorrow
hold on to this, My beloved
I know the plans I have for you
I know what tomorrow holds
all YOU need know is My love
look for Me in the simple
look for Me in the ordinary
look for Me in the everyday
I want you to want Me
above all else
as you rest in Me
as you live in Me
as you listen to Me
you will cease
to strive
your heart will quiet
your mind will clear
your love will grow
as you live in the moment
in the love story I penned for you
with My nail-pierced hand
I love you now and forever"
