To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

That verse hits different when you're in a hard season. Right now, I'm in a season of working, saving, and building some days it feels like nothing is moving. But your reflection reminds me that this is just one season, not the whole story.

The part about difficult phases not being punishment but growth really stood out. It's easy to think God forgot you when things are tough. But maybe that's the planting season the harvest comes later.

Thank you for this reminder. I needed it today.
