Proper Timing

"1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
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,
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."
(Eccesiastes 3)

A cliche passage to most of us, yet still holds meaning & power in certain issues of our lives.
In one of my duties in the hospital, a colleague of mine heard me complaining that our duty was "toxic" (in lay-man's term: busy) and getting worse by the minute. She told me that all things has an end to it. Our duty will eventually end after 24 hours and we can finally hit the bed to rest. There is wisdom to what she said and that was the inspiration I got when I reread this passage of scripture. However, its application does not end there, it also addressed personal issues in my life. It reminded me that its probably time for me to "mend". I have had so many heartbreaks in the past and I feel so scattered. I had a closure with a person in my recent past, but it dawned on me that I need to have a resolution within myself. A "time to gather" has to commence for a genuine healing to take place. We have a choice whether we remain in a certain "time" or move on with God's time.
