All things beautiful...

I've been reflecting a bit lately on the person I've become. Or rather becoming. While some of the sharp edges are being slowly worn down and I'm being squeezed and molded into something much better (the plan He has for me) I get frustrated too. I don't like that I can get so wrapped up in the minutia. The details, the activities, the mundane. The to-do's and to-don'ts, the plans, the lists, the rights, the wrongs, the striving and the desire to be perfect.
And then the reminder.
"There is a time to ever purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven."
Remember this is a season.
And most importantly.
"He makes all things beautiful in His time." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
There is beauty in this - He is making me a thing of beauty.
It is not for me to question. These things will be used.
" He has made everything beautiful in its time."
And He gives me beauty in the everyday.
When I see a smile, or hear a giggle, or experience a rainbow.
Yet another reminder.
"He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. " (Phillipians 1:6)
He is faithful.
"If we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for he cannot deny Himself" (2Timothy 2:13)
He will complete the work He has begun in me! and He is working.
To the praise and honor of Him!
In the meantime please give me grace to be able to laugh at the little things.
