To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: - Ecclesiastes 3:1

Depending on which part of the world you live in you will notice a difference in the seasons as they change before your very eyes. There is a certain beauty that happens as landscapes are visually transformed from one state into another.

There are also challenges that take place as well that are not so fun to deal with in certain moments.

But overall it's amazing to see how things come together and are mysteriously orchestrated for a grander purpose.

In the same manner, this can be said about our lives. We move from season to season as we learn and grow as people of God. Each change has a purpose behind it and how it affects our daily living.

God is the creator of all things that are good and pleasing. He also has allowed us the ability to have an effect on these changes by how we steward our gifts which he has given us.

Sometimes they have lasting effects long after we are gone while other times it lasts only for a season.

The same can be said about our relationships. Some last a lifetime, while others only last for a short season. Regardless God allows everything good and bad to work together to achieve his master plan.

We may not understand right now and even question why he allows things to happen the way they do. We must hold on to his promise that he will use all things for the good of those who are called according to his purpose.

And that he is a rewarder of those seek and put him first. We can walk in peace knowing he will never leave nor forsake us.
