In their own time, new life forms, grows, then passes on in a never-ending cycle of life and death. Yet throughout all this change, God remains the same.&nbsp; God is steady and unchanging in his love, providing good and perfect gifts in our lives.&nbsp; God&#8217;s love is the greatest of these gifts.
