All of God’s creation is amazing. So much of what we learn
and observe from his artistic hand of wisdom is awe inspiring and draws us to him. I love to watch
people, to hear their laughter and interaction with one another. It fascinates me to
experience the unique reactions of people who experience the same event. When my journey connects with others I
consider my life gifted and enriched, an investment if you will.
Some people greatly enhance my life while others challenge me, but I am never
the same because each life that touches my life changes who I am.
I’m also in love with
the ever changing process of life. When we are young our lives are shaped and
molded by our parents, family members; teachers and guardians. When
we become adults we live according to the training from those who have influenced us. Opinions and
life styles are formed by our experiences and choices we make. When we get
older we become frail, our manageable world is reduced with similarities of when
we were children. We become dependent on family members and guardians to make
provision for the things we can’t do for ourselves any longer.
Here is the best part of the journey we all share. The steadfast anchor for everyone of us. The only choice that never changes for every person is the eternal Father heart of God and the opportunity for us to know his love through his son. His heart toward us never changes
regardless of our age, its our understanding of his love that changes.
In the darkness of
our room at 5 years old, the uncertainty of youthful relationships at 18, the
call from the doctor with the life changing diagnosis at 55 or the devastating loss of death of a lifelong partner at 65. The words “Fear Not” from
the Father heart of God are always placed strategically and become the only
words that can calm the confusion and pain. Because they are from the living
heart of God who knows the deepest part of who we are.
He sees us as the
apple of his eye.
Nothing can take that
from our relationship with him.
At any age.
