There is time for everything

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Often people would said there is time for everything. But is it really there is a time for everything? During the early days of my youth, I quit believing everything happened for a reason and has its own time. People around me especially elders keep telling me there is a time for everything. Their words would come in my right ear and go out on the left ear because these words keep repeating for many times that I lost count and don't see the purpose of it.

I lost hope in believing God has time and purpose for everything. Worst, I doubt whether God really exist. If God does really exist, why am I going through all those suffering and He didn't lend a hand of help. Question after question keep pop up in my mind asking why yet answers weren't given.

One day, a sister in the church gave me this verse and told me that she believe God wants to encourage me with this verse. At that moment, I am shocked and stunned because I never knew this verse exist in the bible and when I read this verse; images of my past keep showing in my mind like a movie.

God let me see everything that have happened; happen for a purpose and reason. What blow me off is that everything not only happened according to God timing but also under His supervision. God let me go through struggles so that I would turn into a pearl.

I am person who is not very good at communicating but God took years to mould and change me that I am able to lead cell group and do sharing of His words. In my wildest dream, I never thought I would be doing all this stuff. God is a God who can turn ordinary you and me into extraordinary. Believe that God has a time and purpose for everything and He is supervising.

Prayer:

O Lord, I believe that You have time and purpose for everything. At times I can't understand Your time and purpose but in those moment help me strengthen my faith and reveal Your plan little by little to me. Amen.
