Part 1 of 2
Who loves change?
I must say, I certainly do…without change I would go crazy.
If I didn’t have the promise of school starting at the end of August, Summer coming the following year, or Spring showing creation that there is in fact still life after a long winter, I wouldn’t want to be here!
But couldn’t the seasons in themselves be a routine? Spring comes after winter, summer after spring, fall after that, and then start all over again…so if it isn’t the seasons what keeps the change coming?
Maybe it is the change in the attitude people have towards life? Well not to be pessimistic but unless something or someone changes a person they usually don’t change by themselves. So what is it?
I think there is only one real answer. The Bible says that, “God is the same yesterday, today, and forever”…He never changes, but what if He started out as always bringing new things? “Behold I make all things new” Jesus says this in Revelation. I know, I know, He is speaking about the new heaven and new earth, but seriously Jesus changed everything when He came to earth.
I can only come to the conclusion that He makes all things new in our daily lives!
I believe this is why deep down every man or woman loves change. They were never meant to get stuck in a routine, living out life doing the same thing, day in and day out. Every person has a secret thrill they want to have before they kick the bucket. They seek these out, because they long for something outside the daily rituals they are dissolved into, they are sick of the sealed envelope of life sending them off with a blank letter inside, they want meaning.
They look to sex, drugs, alcohol to find thrills. They go on safaris, bungee jump, skydive, etc. any thrill they can think of to escape the fact that their life has been deemed…gasp…boring…gasp! They don’t even know that they will never find meaning, not will they ever fill the envelope with something worth reading till they find a writer and some ink.
So the writer is God…but who, what, or where is the ink?
