today i was reminded....
everything changes. but GOD.
everything changes. people change. culture changes. seasons change. our bodies change. moods change. people move away. we move. we meet new people and take on their characteristics. we change our clothes. we change our hair. we change jobs. we grow in nature, being affected by influences surrounding us, circumstances we find ourselves in.
but today i'm reminded. one thing that never changes...GOD'S LOVE.
such a big point, but easy to miss. you have to stop and think about it long enough for it to start sinking in. and when it does, you can't help but SMILE.
i was carrying you to bed tonight and i was thinking, someday, I'm not even going to be able to do this anymore. your feet hung down below my needs, your arms wrapped around me. it made me sad to think not only am i not going to be able to do that someday, but you won't even want me to. you'll change. things will even change between us. i don't want to even think about the great difficulties that lie ahead in adolescent years. all i can see is right now. and that's where i want to be. but the truth is, things will change. and there's nothing i can do about it. in this world of shifts and angles, i'm content in knowing God's love for me, for you, and us, never goes anywhere. it never runs out. it never fades. it never fails. we can never grow out of it. aren't we blessed. we are blessed that his LOVE is a continuous flow through our very beings, and He never leaves or outgrows us. there's great confidence in that if we let it seep into our souls.
you may grow out of my arms, sweet girl, but you'll always be in my HEART.
Dear Sadie.
