Everlasting to Everlasting

Life has been hard lately.
I'm not complaining. There are folks out there carrying crosses a lot heavier than mine. Nothing lasts forever. Things will change. Life is about change. We move from one season of life into another, always moving.
We all know how life can change on a dime: an accident, a death, a diagnosis, a divorce.
But our comfort comes in knowing God never changes.

He stays the same.
Always.
Forever.
No matter what.
Some days it's that thought alone that gets me through.

A friend sent me an email and put it this way:
"Remember, you are on a path with God. We walk it. We take short cuts. We get lost. We get side tracked. We walk the straight and narrow. We swerve. Whatever, He's right there with us."

That's it in a nutshell for me.
Even as I strive to follow in Jesus' footsteps I fail miserably some days.
He's no less with me those days than when I'm on the right track.
He didn't say He's with me only when I make the best decisions or do the noble thing, or say the right words.
He said He's with me always.
No matter what happens, I can rely on Him.

"I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
~Jesus
