Ecclesiastes 3:3
" A time to kill, 
       And a time to heal; 
              A time to break down, 
                      And a time to build up; 

<sup>Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8


"1</sup>Everything has its own time, and there is a specific time for every activity under heaven:

 ²a time to be born and
   a time to die,
   a time to plant and
   a time to pull out what was planted,
 ³a time to kill and
   a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and
   a time to build up,
 ⁴a time to cry and
   a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and
   a time to dance,
 ⁵a time to scatter stones and
   a time to gather them,^[a]
   a time to hug and
   a time to stop hugging,
 ⁶a time to start looking and
   a time to stop looking,
   a time to keep and
   a time to throw away,
 ⁷a time to tear apart and
   a time to sew together,
   a time to keep quiet and
   a time to speak out,
 ⁸a time to love and
   a time to hate,
   a time for war and
   a time for peace."

There are times in life when things get tough- where we might even think "what have I done wrong? Why is God punishing me!?" But God's word clearly says there is a TIME for everything - and in that time the Lord is teaching you- HE is building you up and strengthening you.   We've all heard the saying "No pain no gain!"  It's mostly used in athletics because when you go to the gym and work out you suffer pain in order to gain muscle mass... 
Well our Christian walk is no different - 
                   there is some struggling  involved.. 
         Nick Vujicic (seen in video above) had to TRY and TRY and TRY at things most of us take for granted- but the Lord strengthen him and USED him mightily to strengthen others!

Instead of asking God why you have to suffer- or begging for the suffering to end-  I dare you to ask what lesson can be learned from the suffering... and see what MIGHTY things God has in store for you! 

 Ecclesiastes 3:3b (NKJ)

...A time to break down, 

And a time to build up; 

Be blessed and a blessing sisters and brothers...
