GOD HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT YOU

Adelola Edema

Recently I was lining my eyebrows and I remembered when I could have sworn, "I would never line my eyes and my eyebrows". A few years later, even if I want to go without makeup, I line my brows at least. (Yea, I know I need help) I grew up hating ogbono soup. I also hated iru and ede (locust beans and crayfish) with a passion. I was that child that was not ashamed to pick out iru from the soup I was served, anywhere. Now ehn… I am a huge fan of iru and ogbono soup. I still don’t like ede o, but I don’t only eat it, I cook with it sef.

Quite a number of people know that I HATE daddyrising and mummyrising men of God. In fact, I could literally throw up if someone called his pastor Daddy around me. I used to tell people, without shame sef, that I could leave a church simply because members call the pastors Daddy or Mummy. But surprisingly, in my present church, I join other members to call the pastors Daddy and Mummy. It was just recently I noticed that I had been calling them Daddy and Mummy for months and I did not die. So I have concluded that this "Daddy, Mummy thing" is not as bad as I thought (I'm not sure o).

My point is that I am human, and change is the only constant thing. My dear, don’t assume that the Adelola you knew in Ife is the one typing this o… I have changed gaaaaaaan. You could have been able to predict me then, but maybe not anymore, because I have changed; and I am still changing.

But do you know what? God testifies of himself "I am the Lord, I do not change" (Mal 3:6). Hebrews 13 says that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So even if you cannot predict man that can change, you can be rest assured in God that if he said something about himself, then he remains that thing. God has not changed his mind about loving you. Scripture says he has loved you with an EVERLASTING LOVE. He tells you that you can now come boldly before his throne through the blood of Jesus, don’t worry he has not decided that the sins of this generation is too much, and then withdraw his mercy that the blood paid for.

So my dear, yes I know you have changed, but don’t judge God being same as you. He says that he remains the same forever. Trust that he is faithful. Be rest assured in him. He will not deny himself.

Much love,

Adelola
