THE ONLY
PERMANENT THING
“...your heavenly Father is perfect. – Matthew 5:48
It was our first time in Sydney, Australia, a wonderful gift from God.
But we came in the dead of winter, and although it wasn’t snowing, the
temperature was close to zero. Staying outdoors was difficult when we
walked in the city streets. So when we saw a huge, royal-looking
building, we went in to stay warm.
It was the Queen Victoria Building, a shopping mall and not a royal
palace as it appeared to be on the outside. It was originally used for
stately purposes for the Queen of England. But its purpose has changed —
from royalty use to commercial use.
In a coffee corner inside the mall, I reflected on this issue called
change. They say that the only thing permanent in life is change. But
even change changes. Then wisdom came to me. There is something that’s
truly permanent in this world: God’s love. That thought warmed my heart
more than the coffee.
Count on it — God’s love is constant and it never changes! Rolly España (rolly@homeliving.com.ph)
Reflection: Lord, thank You for the wisdom in the thought that You created me so that You can love me. Your love has never changed or wavered.
Jesus, everywhere I turn You are there pursuing me with all Your love. You are my Good Shepherd.
St. Joseph Cafasso, pray for us.
