The only constant in life.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17
What ever trouble that seems to come on us we have a God who never changes His love for us. If truth be known there is nothing that we can do that would cause Him to stop loving us. The man that came to Jesus proud of the fact that he had kept all the Law from his youth but when Christ told him to sell all his wealth and follow Him then that was a decision too hard. He made the choice to reject the Son of God and walk away from the only one who could help him. Did Jesus hate him or dislike him for this? No. We are told that when this man was challenged by Jesus (who knew exactly what his answer would be) He still loved him. (Mark 10:21).
There are many times when the believer fails God miserably because of his or her changeableness yet we see in this verse in James and others that God never changes. He is the constant in our lives with His eyes ever over us and His ears inclined unto us'. We take comfort in the fact that we have God and that words cannot really describe how much He loves you and me.
