There is.... A time to be born, and a time to grow A time for questioning, and a time for certainty A time for deep anger, and a time to forgive deeply A time for mercy, and a time for judgment A time to receive, and a time to give A time to sow, and a time to reap A time for humility, and a time for power A time to resist the evil one, and a time not to resist evil people A time to die, and a time to resurrect Set as favorite Bookmark

I find it comforting to know that Jesus did each and every one of those things. I especially identified with questioning. So while He is the Son of God, maybe He and I are not so different in some ways. And maybe I can wait upon the times that are planned for me.

John.....
Eccl 3 was one of the first scripture passages I ever came across....it has been one of my favorite and one that I continuously fall back upon, time after time, trial after trial. I like your 'simplified' but straight forward, culturally relevant version/translation. 11 report abuse
