Change

Change is as integral to life as breathing the air around us – life doesn’t stand still for any of us. An unhappy outcome of the fall means that aging and death separates us from our loved ones. But change also brings new life, allows for the forging of new relationships and brings us nearer to heaven and re-union with our creator God. Change is sometimes an easy and happy turn of event and at other times a hard thing to deal with.

Moving is never easy and especially when it means moving location, moving culture and leaving behind loved ones. It has been a painful process to leave behind our church family in England and move to the Republic of Ireland. God teaches us to rely solely on Him – He is the great constant in this changing and decaying world. Our relationship with Him changes as we choose to serve Him more or less, to become more Christ-like or not. We need to learn to graciously accept change and learn to trust God more through it.
