As I got up from knees, about to climb into bed, my eyes fell on the picture frame on my nightstand, "Without Change There Would Be No Butterflies." Such a deep thought. I don't know about you but the idea of change fills me with apprehension and my stomach tightens at the prospect. I like the familiar, the known. Even in hard and difficult situations I am loath to venture out into the unknown. And yet change must come. Some of the best things have been because of changes in my life. I still hesitate to embrace it though, let alone run after it. But without change there would be no butterflies. With God every change can bring forth something beautiful, not always immediately, but it will come.
The words to that beloved hymn echo in my ears, Be still, my soul; the Lord is on your side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to your God to order and provide; In every change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul; your best, your heavenly Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Blessed promise. In every change He faithful will remain. May we trust our Father, He knows our need.
