Have you ever had a relationship turn sour on you? Perhaps it was a friendship that you thought would last a lifetime. The problem is…it didn’t. When things don’t turn out the way that we think (or hope) they will, it feels like loss. It hurts. It’s because people change. Sometimes, we’re the ones who change.
But do you know who *never* changes? Jesus. The Scriptures tell us that He is always the same. This is the doctrine of His immutability. Can you imagine a God that would change? A God that might change His mind if something didn’t turn out the way He wanted? What about if He changed His mind about you? Could we live in any kind of comfort or security in that kind of God?
No, we couldn’t. Thankfully, the biblical Jesus doesn’t change. Whoever the Scriptures tell us He is, He always will be. He never changes His mind or thoughts about us. He loves us, and He loves us eternally. He tells us in Jeremiah 31:3, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” It will never fade or falter, whether we change or not. So, even if others change around us, Jesus never will. Take comfort in that today!

Jesus, I thank you that the Scriptures tell me that You always stay the same. You are the immovable Rock that stays steady. Thank you so much for your unchanging love toward me!
