I just got back from spending a week visiting family in Texas for a week. I had a great time visiting family and friends that I had not seen in a long time. One of the things I discovered is how everything changes and yet everything is the same. I know that sounds strange but it seems to be very true.
When I walked into the house I grew up in everything seemed very familiar but everything was different at the same time. Things in different places - new and different things and yet there was something very comforting and familiar about being there. The same was true with seeing people that I had not seen in a long time. They looked different but still the same. There was something very familiar and comfortable about being around them.
The same thing is true as we journey with God. We grow and we change and yet God is still there - our relationship with Him changes and grows but He stays the same.
Everything changes but God stays the same.
