…Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God… (Romans 8:39)

The story is told of a farmer who had a weather vane on the top of his barn. On the weather vane were the words, “God Loves Us.” One day a minister happened to be visiting and asked, “Are you suggesting that God’s love varies like the wind? That every time the wind changes, God’s love changes?”

“Not at all,” replied the farmer. “I mean to infer that regardless of which direction the wind might be blowing, God’s love is always with us.”

In an age of constant change, of newer and better technology, in a world where change happens moment by moment, we need to be assured that the love God has for each of us is constant and never changing. Once we come to really believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, we find ways to cope with the threats and disappointments that come with change.

While nothing can separate us from God’s infinite love, the world of change around us can challenge that belief and trust. Only when we realize the constancy of God can we come to firmly rely on the never-changing aspect of God in our daily walks and stride through the changes that bombard us from every side daily.

God of unchanging love, may we hold tightly to Your love as the only thing in this crazy world that does not change, and may we find hope in the security of Your constant nature!
