To everything under the earth, there is a time and season...
There is a time and season to every purpose under the Heavens..
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.
Those are the true, undiluted words from the Holy Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NKJV).
Oftentimes, we as humans forget that there is indeed time and season to everything on earth. Many atimes, people have given up on themselves, all in the name of thinking nothing good can come out of them anymore or their existence is of no use. So as a result, they just live carelessly.
The mistake we make is comparing our life with that of others. Because your friend has started making waves before you does not mean you have been forgotten.
Your journey is not the same with your friend's, even twin children can never have the same destiny or purpose.
God has created every human in a very unique and different way. No two humans have the same of anything!
You are unique!
You are different!
You are amazingly & wonderfully made!
You have a purpose and your time and season will not pass you by if you trust God enough to involve Him in your journey.
We should not have the mind that we are going to have it all easy in life. Just like the Bible passage I quoted earlier, there's the time we would be sad, down, sick, worried, fail, amongst other negativities. These times are simply to help us grow stronger. I know it sounds easier than said, its not humanly easy to keep strength in down times, and this is why we need God in our journey.
God created us and He has the manual to our lifes, no one else does. We gotta stay connected to Him in order to be able to follow this manual that will lead us to our promised land.
I hope I have been able to make you my dear friends, understand that, delay does not mean you have been written off or forgotten. Neither does it deny the fact that you are created to do exploits.
Your time and season is just by the corner!
God loves you!
