A Time for Everything

Today I want to share my favorite Bible Verse.

Ecclesiastes 3

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.


I am imperfect in many ways. I am angry, and I curse God. I am weak, and I allow it to hate myself. I weep at times of happiness. I am all this, because I am so imperfect. But this passage gives me strength, and reminds me there is a time for everything. Even my imperfection is a part of His greater plan, a plan to mold me into perfection in ways which I couldn’t have done alone. I remind myself… there is a time for everything, and there is never nothing.
