"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." - Hebrews 13:8

This verse really speaks for itself. It is one of my favorites because it reminds me that in this ever changing world that we live in (is that a song lyric?) that there is only one thing that remains constant and that is GOD. These days, it seems like things change by the second: technology, television, video games, the job market, healthcare, even people. People who you think are your friends could backstab you at any moment. People in your own family could turn their backs on you. People who you thought you could trust betray you. But we have a hope that when the world fails us, there is one who will never fail us: Jesus Christ. I think I have said this before, but there is a saying that says, "There is nothing you can do to make God love you more, and there is nothing you can do to make him love you less." God loves you the same no matter what, and he loves you the same as he did yesterday, and five years ago, and fifty years from now.
As humans, it is hard for us to grasp the concept that God didn't have a beginning, and he will not have an end. Everything that we know has a beginning and an end. God just always was. And the best part about that is that he was the same before the world was even created, and he is still the same today, and he will still be the same hundreds and thousands of years from now. The God who never changes, created us a world that constantly changes so that we could rely on him to be the only thing that is true and constant in our lives. Praise God!
