“I am the Lord, I change not”—Malachi 3:6

“And Thou Lord in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. . . They shall be changed but Thou art the same and Thy years shall not fail”—Hebrews 1:10 and 12.

We find decay and change in all around us, as the years come and go.  There is nothing secure, stable or steadfast.  Our loved ones, family and friends leave us.  They cannot remain.  There is nothing certain in the world, nothing to which we may cling and find comfort.  Our only hope is Christ, the unchanging one, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday and to day, and for ever”—Hebrews 13:8.  He is our comfort, and our stay.  He remains forever the same, through all seasons and surroundings, unchanging.

His love is unchanging.  “Having loved His own, He loved them to the end”—John 13:1.  His love passeth knowledge, the breadth, the length, the depth, the height has never yet been comprehended.  Ephesians 3:17-19 – “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”   Many waters cannot quench it, neither can the floods drown it; “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.”  It never fluctuates, much less changes as our friends’ love does. Their love may fail us when we need it most, but His remains unchanging as Himself. There is nothing that we may or may not do, that will separate us from that love.  It is ever the same, abiding faithful throughout the years.

Christ so wonderful, so great!

His love is as His Name

Abiding ever strong and true.

Throughout the years the same!
