He has made everything beautiful in its time…

Ecclesiastes 3:11

…and so, you need not fear that your middle-of-the-night tears have gone unnoticed.

That the future scenario you’ve played out endlessly in your head is the only possible outcome to the worries that threaten to strangle you at times.

Romans 8:28 reminds us that everything works together for our good if we love God.

But, this sentence in Ecclesiastes is at once a gentle reminder, that not only can He make the greatest heartache work to our benefit, but He can also turn our ashes into something beautiful.

In its own perfect time.
