I recently heard an expression that I absolutely love, and that is, "Give time time." When I first heard this, I thought to myself, "What great advice!" This is advice that I wish somebody had given me during some dark times in my life when I was experiencing a lot of pain. For example at the end of a relationship when I experienced deep emotional pain, or right after my knee surgery when I had physical pain. This is also advice that I would like to give to those who might be experiencing some sort of pain right now, "Give time time."
God's word in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says:
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.
With that being said family, I encourage you once again to give time time. If you need healing, give God time to make you whole. If you are mourning, give God time to give you peace, if you are angry give God time to give you grace and understanding, and most of all, trust in Him because His timing is the best!
