Pastor's Reflection for the day

Nothing will ever change the love God has for Creation. This is especially true of the love God has for humankind into which He has poured the Holy Spirit and endowed with powers of wisdom and understanding similar to the essence of Divine Nature. God may at times be disappointed and angry, or pleased and merciful, but God’s steadfast love will always remain because love is the very nature of God. It is impossible for God to turn away from His essential nature. We, however, are not as steadfast in our essential being. We can, and often do, abandon the perfect love that God has put within us. When we turn away from God, and our compatibility with our Divine Nature, we abandon the love that seeks to unite us in the joy and peace humankind has sought throughout history. But even in our rebellion, God's love remains unchanged. The presence of the fruits of the Spirit in our life is only, and directly, proportional to the unity or separation we create in our relationship to God's perfect and steadfast love.
