Understanding a Biblical concept of change.

One of the first concepts of change can be found in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Part 1.

Ecclesiastes 3


3:1 For everything  there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:
3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was planted;
3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;
3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
3:5 A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
3:6 A time to search, and a time to give something up as lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
3:7 A time to rip, and a time to sew;a time to keep silent, and a time to speak.
3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.

Change at times is hard to accept, but it is a biblical concept that  change is seasonal in nature. Change can be seen in the cycles of the earth. Time  for us is also  a part of the healing process.
