Unchanging God

Wind, wind blow on me, wind wind set me free, wind wind the Father sent, the blessed Holy Spirit. (New Harvest 226)
I was watching the children flying a kite and they were having such fun and filled with joy as it flew to great heights on the wind,  dipping, and dancing in the sky until the wind stopped and then down it fell helplessly to the ground where the children rushed to gather it up and fly it again. As I watched it reminded me so much of life, the ups and downs of life. The soaring and dancing and the dips and crashes and then I thought of God, how he is there for us in whatever life dishes up to us be it when we are filled with joy, dancing and happiness or down in the dumps, sad and feeling alone or in crisis. His love is unfailing, unchanging and always present, never dependent on which way the wind is blowing but just always there ready to soar with us or pick us up and launch us back into life again.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord
