Forever, Unchanging

Ebb and flow. Here today - gone tomorrow.
It depends on the mood I am in
or the kind of day I've had.
Sometimes it's shy and distant.
Other times it burns hot like a wild fire-
searing, cleansing and intentional.

But, the ravaging fire turns into a
vulnerable little flame, barely shedding light.
Be careful! Don't stand in the wind!
Stand in the soft breeze, gently
fanning the flame back to health.

Not so with Him. It's not inconsistent.
No! It's always constant, just like the
waves washing on the beach.
Forever in rhythm with His heart,
beautiful song.
Never dependant. Always ready to be received
if we are courageous enough...
Warm, peaceful, forgiving and never ending.
Always transforming, covering past regrets.

It's so far beyond mere mortal expression.
We look right past His offering,
forever seeking it from broken others,
in it's flawed state, never satisfied.
Birthing temporary joy or devastating pain.

But not so with Him.

Open wide your heart
and receive His loving and tender gift.
It's forever, unchanging.
