Our Unchanging God














I've been overwhelmed a bit lately with some things that are sad, things that are ugly. These things most often plague me in the early morning and the late evening - when my hands are still and my mind quiet.

This morning's sunrise was magnificent. I grabbed the camera and ran out to try and catch the moment. As I stood marveling over the beauty, God spoke encouragement to my heart. I was reminded of God's faithfulness in the fact that the sun continues to rise at God's command every morning - even amidst the hurt that sometimes overwhelms me. I was also reminded that though circumstances change, He never does. God always was, is, and will be. I'm so glad that this place of earth is just temporary for me - one day I will be Home and away from pain. Until then, I can trust that my unchanging God has all things in hand, including my heart. May you be encouraged in those thoughts today as well -

Beautiful and Amen! Sometimes I get like that too and then our wonderful Father blesses me with a sign from him as he did you. Have a blessed day.

I wish I could just pop over and give you a great big hug-so take my email one. What a beautiful sky-how blessed that the Lord encouraged you with it. He is so good to us!
Be blessed this day.
Hugs, Noreen

Such a lovely picture. Sunrises have a way of reminding me of the same things you talked about. And that each day is new and ready for us to leave an imprint on.
