Changing Colors

It amazes me to think that things can change so quickly. In the blink of an eye. Without warning and without hesitation. Sometimes it's positive, yes. Change for the better. But sometimes not so much. I find it often hard to differentiate between two. To delineate when this change occurs, how, and why.

But it does happen, whether it be the slightest change in temperature or the weather. Change in the color of things; change in the sky. Change of emotions. Change of heart. Change of mind. Change of clothes. Change of sheets. Change of friends. Change of job. The list is endless. Things are ALWAYS changing. Most of which we have limited control over, if any at all, which is probably a good thing. Though I find I want to change that fact all the time, because I want control. I want to change the circumstances around me that are changing all the time. Kinda ironic, huh?

So why not change our mindset within all of this instead of fighting a battle we cannot win (to change our circumstances per se)? Because while we do not have control of our changing circumstances, we do have control of our responses. We will experience all the colors of the rainbow in our lifetime, also meaning that we experience all kinds of storms and all kinds of sunlight. But why not enjoy these things and be enthralled with them instead of worrying our way through the storms, and even through the sunshine and rainbows in fear of the next imminent storm?

And furthermore, we must always remember that there is one thing, nay one Person, who does not change. Who will always chase you, persue you, love you, delight in you, provide for you, be a shoulder for you, and a laugh... He is everything we could ever dream or ask for and so much more! And he's not gonna change a bit - He simply CAN'T change! In this world of change, we have one Constant with which to guide our lives. And what a wonderful Constant He is!
