A Time for Everything

A Time for Everything

Ecclesiastes 3 (NLT)

1
There is a time for everything,
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 harvest.

3
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to rebuild.

4
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.

5
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

6
A time to search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak up.

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

Those verses are just perfect when I feel like I want to get over with this-and-that and can't wait to move on. Or when I'm in the why-is-this-happening stage. It reminds me that there's always a time for everything, no hurrying should be done but of course that doesn't give me the liberty to be lethargic.
