CHANGES IN LIFE
Lord, we have more love today than yesterday, for God’s love grows in our hearts as the years pass by. Throughout our lives, our Lord will call us to change. At times, God calls us away from that with which we are familiar and comfortable, and he calls us to something new. This is frightening, for we all know Jesus will walk this Earth once more to pass judgement on the living and the dead. Death has no limits on change and when that change occurs in accord with the will of God, it must be embraced with hope and great expectation. We suffer because of our sins. We lose ourselves in material things, focus on the Holy Spirit for our souls in need of forgiveness. When we truly love God and bring him into our lives, he changes who and what we encounter in life as part of God’s divine plan, we can be certain that good things await. Or are we fearful by the thoughts of change? Be open to anything our Lord ask of us. And know his holy will be the only path to true happiness in life. No matter if it is in life or death we must keep our soul in Grace. Truly love our father with all our heart. “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever.” Corinthians 4:17.
