Change

Change…is a constant!

The one thing that I have learned over the years is that change is always part of my life. No matter what we try to do to create a “status quo”, it won’t last. Change can cause us to experience emotions like anger, fear, frustration and depression. WOW! I don’t like things to change, so I can identify with some of these emotions. Perhaps God put this element of constant change in our lives to allow us to see Him more clearly as the one who never changes. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” Hebrews 13:8 tells us. The time of change is a time to refocus on the face of Jesus!

I look around each day and see changes in Women’s Ministry and wonder what the future will be? I asked my friend what the “future of Women’s Ministries was?—after she finished giggling she felt like it wouldn’t be changing much in 1000 years. What I see is that women don’t really change much; they have the same sort of need for relationships with other women and for an intimate and growing relationship with Jesus. What changes the most is the method we use and the attitude we have toward the changes themselves. The basic truth we can stand firm on is that Jesus loves us unconditionally as His daughters, He will never change. Our calling is to share that hope with other women in the way that they understand and in environments that are safe for them. It is our responsibility to find the best way to minister to the women with which we are involved.
