Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. –Deuteronomy 6:5, NIV
It’s easy to say, “I love God”…But do we really mean it?

I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.–Genesis 9:13-15, NIV Leaves fall from trees, leaves start sprouting up again. Friends come, and friends go. One season arrives, another season leaves. You’re on top this second, you’re fighting for your life on the other. Reality, unfortunately, is starting to sink in. Change is incoming, change is ongoing, change is stressful. From the bottom of my heart, it looks too much to handle. Yes, I know I’m not getting married, or I have a girlfriend; thankfully, I’m not fighting physical sickness, or things in my home are falling apart. So why am I saying that it looks too much?
It takes time to get used to changes. It takes time to make changes. Sometimes, we don’t know that the decisions we are taking will benefit us or harm us even more than if we didn’t do it or pay attention to it in the first place. It takes a lifetime to actually see whatever blessings (or curses!) that change will bring to us, our children, our friends, our family, or anyone who looks up to something. Oh, how can God take us through four seasons! Spring, summer, fall, and winter! How can change break us, mold us, follow us, and fight with us? (If God is with us, who is against us?) Change defines our attitude, our personalities, our wills and our hopes. Are we willing to go through God’s season and let Him work? Caps off, togas down, summer’s over, it’s time to meet life right in the eye. It’s time to learn responsibilities. It’s time I learn about life. Now I have to start doing things on my own -with the help of God, of course-, now is the time I have to prove to the God, the world, and myself, that I can walk with my head held up high.
