Seasons of Change
All around the world everything is continuously changing. Every year, month, week, day, hour, minute and second there is something different happening in your life. Sometimes change is exciting like meeting a new friend, getting a new puppy or going on a vacation to someplace you have never been. Sometimes change can be scary like starting your first day of school in a new grade, your best friend moving to a new city, or for some families your mom and dad deciding not to live together anymore. Today, I want to share with you someone that never changes and will always be right there wherever you go or whatever you do; His name is Jesus.

There are several scriptures in the Bible that tell us that God never changes and assures us that He is always the same. Open your bible to these scriptures and read them for yourself, Isaiah 40:8, Hebrews 13:8, Psalm 33:11 and James 1:17. God wants you to know that He keeps His promises and He doesn’t change His mind. Unlike all of us, we change our mind on what we like to wear, our favorite song, our favorite activity and even our favorite flavor of ice cream! Jesus is always right there with us helping us through whatever good or bad changes that are right around the corner. Jesus wants to be your very best friend and loves you no matter what has changed in your life. When I read the story of Noah in the Bible, it reminds me that sometimes the things that are happening all around us can be bad, but God can change our situation and then good things can happen. Noah was the only person on the earth that loved God with his whole heart.

Other people were doing bad things to each other and did not love God. God told Noah to start building an ark because a flood was going to wipe out all of the sin that was taking place and Noah was about to face a big change in his life. God was asking Noah to do something he had never done before. Because Noah loved God and trusted Him, Noah obeyed and not only changed his life but the lives of those around him, his family. Now you may be thinking I’m sure glad that I wasn’t Noah because I don’t know if I could do a big job like that for God. Well you might not have to build an ark, but God has given all of you a really big job to do, and that is to help change someone’s life, by sharing the love of Jesus with some one who doesn’t know Him. There are many ways to share Jesus with someone. One way is to be nice to them and go out of your way to help them. Another is to tell them how Jesus helps you, and that He died on the cross for your sins.

Bringing someone to church with you lets them feel God’s love through worship, and when they hear His word it lets them know how much He loves them. By doing the job that God has called you to do you could help change someone’s life forever. Let me pray for you.

Dear God thank you for every girl who is reading this message today, help them remember that you are right there with them through every change that takes place in their life. Give them the courage to do what is right and share your love with those around them. Most of all I pray that if they do not have you in their heart, they would come to love you as much as I have and you would change their life forever. Amen. I love you and will see you soon!
