A Time for Everything
"To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Six years ago, I began writing these devotionals with a simple goal: to encourage us all to look beyond the busyness of everyday life and remember what really matters in the life of a Christian.
Our lives are made up of seasons. Some bring laughter, some bring tears. Some bring new beginnings, while others call upon us to let go.
Through the years, it has been my privilege to share thoughts, Scriptures, stories, and sometimes a little humor with you. My hope has always been that something I wrote might cause you to pause and think, encourage you through a difficult day, or perhaps challenge you to look more closely at your walk with God.
If there is one message I would want you to carry with you, it is this: Don't just go through life. Live it well!
Live with joy, even when circumstances aren't joyful. Live with purpose, knowing that each day is a gift. Most importantly, pursue holiness. Not because we are perfect, but because we belong to a perfect God who loves us and calls us to become more like His Son.
There will always be another challenge, another setback, another reason to distract us from what matters most. But we are never promised tomorrow. We are given today. So, make it count!
Even though I’m bringing these weekly devotionals to a close, the encouragement remains. Stay in God’s Word – stay on your knees –and stay connected with other believers!
Thank you for allowing me to share a little part of your journey. It has been a joy!
Blessings,
Pastor Sue
P.S. One of our church members will be picking up the devotional baton. A little hint: She knows how to write -- she’s an author!
