Pain and Suffering, Part 3
Death and life and everything in between are all a part of the human existence. And as much as we try to avoid pain and circumvent suffering, we must listen and learn from the following Ecclesiastical poetry. 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
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 from embracing, 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.
You see, God has a perfect plan for your life (and mine) and it contains everything listed above. When you try to beat the odds and only enjoy the fun stuff, you only prolong the inevitable. Instead, head straight into the highs and lows of life knowing that your sweet Savior will never leave you of forsake you.
