The one thing we can count on in this life is change. It comes in small and big ways and more so than any other reality is always present.  We can attempt to resist it, push it away, avoid it, or deny it but there is no stopping it.  The greatest peace is found through acceptance.  It does not mean we have to like it or look forward to it but we are open to being in the reality of it.  God invites us to embrace change from the perspective of opening up the possibilities in life.  We may not know how or when it is going to occur but we can hold it in the space of hope within our hearts.  We can opt to trust that nothing that changes will undo the truth of who we are at our core.  We do not have to fight change because we know that change will not erase all God has designed within us but open us up to see it with new eyes. On my daily dates, I have learned that God always holds the space of what is possible in our growth towards love and that change is the vehicle that can open our eyes to it.  Change causes us to pause and look again. Change wakes us up out of the routine we hold onto and operate in as though it is unchanging.  In my years of daily dates with God as I am rooted in the unchanging nature of God, the more I am willing to initiate my own changes because I have a desire to grow and explore the possibilities I cannot see. Faith is the capacity to walk through changes with our hearts open and connected to the unchanging truth.
