Cue the music
Though the music changes
And the songs we sing
We still lift our praises to our loving God and King
Though the music changes
And the songs we sing
We still lift our praises to our loving God and King
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Lord, You've been faithful to plant the seeds
And You will be faithful to always send Your rain
Lord, You've been faithful to plant the seeds
And You will be faithful to always send Your rain...
You are faithful...
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
When we were far apart
You came running with open arms
When we were far apart
You came running with open arms
When we were far apart
You came running with open arms
Song called Seasons Changes by United Pursuit
We are back like we never left before… Now let's begin…
The last several months have been a time of transition and change in my life. This change includes a new job, a move to a new church, my sister's wedding, the loss of my grandfather, a change in my role at Youth Unlimited, and new church relationships. Change, big or small, is a part of everyone's life.
Take a second: Reflect on changes in your life. Consider your feelings during those changes, what they entailed, and whether they were challenging or not. Who provided support during these times? Why were these changes necessary for you? What did you learn or gain from the experience? Think about areas where you grew and where you found difficulties.
Change is a constant in life, but God's love and faithfulness remain steadfast. As I reflect on the changes I've faced, I'm reminded of the song that has been on repeat called “Season Changes” by United Pursuit. It serves as a reminder of God's unwavering love and His unchanging nature, as stated in Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
Life brings three seasons: wilderness, winning, and waiting. Change is needed for growth, but it can be tough.
One of the most common seasons we face is the wilderness season. This is a time when everything feels uncertain and difficult. It can be a time of loss, confusion, or even feeling abandoned. However, it’s during these times that God is refining and shaping us. Just as He did with the Israelites in the desert, He is preparing us for something greater.
Another season we may face is the winning season. This is a time of growth and success. It’s a time of abundance and fruitfulness. But it’s also important to remember that success in this life is temporary and that all good things come from God.
The third season is the waiting season. This is a time of anticipation and preparation. It can be a time of frustration, but it’s also a time of faith. During this season, God is working behind the scenes to bring about the plans He has for us. We must trust in His timing and His faithfulness.
Trust in God to use it for good and stay focused, faithful, and keep looking forward.
Change does not only mean change for us but for those around us as well. I want to remind you, through trails, changes in season, dark valleys, and the ups and downs of life — God's love remains. God is faithful, even when our love towards him may not be. Change is difficult and hard. Change is sometimes necessary. This season of change was time for me to put my big boy pants on and grow up. Every season has a purpose.
As I have been in this season of change, I have been able to talk to God more through journaling but also through reflection and contemplation.
When we go through changes, that means changes for others as well. Truth be told most of us do not like change. We often live in the comfort zone. Change is necessary for us to grow. God places these changes in our lives for a reason.
Through these changes, we must let God change us for the good.
In conclusion, seasons of life bring change and challenges, but they also bring growth and new opportunities. As we face these changes, it’s important to trust in God’s faithfulness and love for us. He remains constant through it all and will never leave us nor forsake us. May we cling to Him and trust in His plans for our lives.
