Thomas A. Edison once said, “There is time for everything” and I assume that he read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 which also reminds us still today that, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every [a]purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.” So what time do you see on your spiritual watch? I believe it’s time to love: your spouse, your parents, your children, your near and abroad family, your friends, and your neighbor. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:13, “Three things will last forever: faith, love, and hope—and the greatest of these is love!”
