Reflection

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot, and I feel kinda down, for no reason. I guess there is a time for everything, like mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11

1 To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;

7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace;

9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labours?

10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.



My friend (Mr. Green Shrek) shared this with me before, and this verse somehow applied to my current situation in a totally different way.

I’ve been reflecting a bit, having 2 dilemmas that I have to solve on my own. It’s just too complicated.

I’m also having some trouble finding a balance between my normal life and my Christian life, who would understand? I guess only God would truly understand what is happening, no big deal but my mood is going roller-coaster-like, one moment happy, another moment sad.

Dear Lord, speak, I’m listening.
