One of the most valued thing in the world and in people's life is time. From the beginning to the end, time is counted and recorded. There is this popular line " time is gold" which tells us how important and expensive time is. Once it is done you can never go back to it, and when the you're in the moment of it you shouldn't miss it. Time hops so fast. You will just realize after all that a lot of time had passed and there's a lot of things you missed.
In Ecclesiastes 3, Solomon clearly enumerated phases of life that will pass. Every single one of them, has its time and space in our lives and its very essential to cease those times and find out the purpose which God intended it to be. This also shows how life can be so short; We don't have the luxury of time to waste.
Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 NIV
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Life brings a lot of surprises , ups and down, happiness, memories (whether good or not), opportunities, kinds of people, special people, and more things that life can offer. Each one of the things that this life enables us to experience, can make a great impact and can leave a mark in our hearts and memories. They make a spot of time and place in our lives that will be forever treasured until our last breath.
There are these things that we wanted to stay and last in our lives but in an unexpected time,left us and gone so soon. We waited and hoped for it for a long time, and as it stand right in front of us, starting to realize the moment that it is already here, suddenly it's gone. Too soon to leave that you didn't even grasp the moment , too soon to let it go because you are just starting to contemplate the why.
You cried for the things you wanted yet they're gone too soon, but life surprises you with the things you did not expect. Suddenly you are flashed with these new unanticipated things. Much of your wonder, you slowly grab those surprises and starting to understand its purpose. It teaches you that Life is not just about the things you have and once you have, but also with what is yet to come.
God didn't put anything or everything in our lives questionably, and he will just look on us getting lost searching for the answers. We may wonder and questioned God why can he allow such a thing to happen; Why did he allowed the joy to leave and let the pain to take its place.? Why does the thing or people you treasured the most left and gone too soon? These may not be easily understood but God allowed it for a reason and His reason and purpose is not a selfish one, It is always for the good not just for you but even for everyone.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
People say hi and bid goodbye,
opportunities may come and go,
memories starts but it has to end,
you just arrived but you have to leave,
it started yet its about to end,
you accept but you have to let it go.
Nothing in this world is forever, everything is fancy and temporary. Yet, God points out only thing that is forever and eternal , He His word and love, and our relationship with Him.
Every moment in our lives whether its a YES or NO, God is present, He is there. It may be hard to understand the state, but you have to trust God that everything is part of the work for a greater and more beautiful things. The best that we can do is to cease the moment whether its a time of YES, WAIT or NO.
Love when its time and when you have love to give,
help when you are able,
make someone's existence meaningful when you know the purpose,
give if you have much or little,
accept when you have the arms to embrace,
celebrate if its worth it
but when things work the other way(the NO), discover the WHY and learn from it. TRUST GOD. Nothing and no one is an accident. They stepped in to your life bringing the gifts and the lessons for your life today and for the future. Turn it into a purposeful one. Make everything worth it. Whatever the time of your life brought you, you must live the most out of it. Serve your purpose and your part of the season.
You're never late or too early, but you ceased the right time .
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
