In His Time…

“He has set the right time for everything. He has given us a desire to know the future, but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does. “ Ecclesiates 3:11 NRSV

It gives us immense joy to see a colorful butterfly. But despite the joy, have we ever thought of the struggles it has to undergo so as to reach that happiness…The transformation from the small eggs hatched somewhere to the long caterpillar which could have been easily crushed by anyone to the period of stagnation and then the time for it to spread its wings to be another of His beautiful creation.. it has to go through many struggles in each of its phases to finally be a butterfly…but it is through these struggles,it finally gets the strength to fly and survive.

Isn’t that what happens to us too? We have to go through many struggles at each stage of our life..we become emotionally, financially, and physically out thrown and tampered…we push so hard and at times we feel dejected, hopeless and on the verge of giving up… at this point, we beg God to help us out of it. And at times we feel God is not listening .. We get so mad at God and complaint to Him for being so unfair to us. but this is exactly what God wants in our lives..through the struggles He molds us to become strong enough to fly, live for his glory and spread the joy of the Lord around the world..

In His time, He makes all thing beautiful in His time.
