Everything is beautiful in its time!

I am a firm believer of there is a reason for everything and a time for everything. For everything there is a process. If you want apples in your garden, you have to plant an apple tree. This takes time. If you want to get a degree, you go to university. Obtaining the certificate takes time. For everything, there is a time and for everything there is a season.

Knowing this, knowing everything takes time, it can be quite frustrating. We live in a generation where most things that we want we get straight away - we want instant gratification! And I know, for me, this is a conflict I constantly face. The goals and visions that I have I know will take time before they come into fruition. There are things I have said that I would do and because they are not completed yet, I feel to leave them abandoned on the wayside. But things take time and we have to be willing to invest and put the work in.

Not only do things take time, but everything happens in the right time. Have you ever started a task and everything seems to go wrong? You're trying to get it done for a certain time but it doesn't seem to be working. The amount of times I have tried to do something and it hasn't worked out when I have wanted it to. However, I have persisted and when it did happen, it was like it was the perfect time for it to happen! 


Ecclesiates 3:11 says, 'Everything is beautiful in its time.' For everything there is a reason and there is a time. 

We give up on things, thinking they are not going to happen, but if we persist, things will happen at the right time.
