"God has made everything beautiful for its own time."

"God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart." Ecclesiastes 3:11

Eternity and beauty are echoed in the same verse. Make no mistake; this is no coincidence. The two concepts belong together because God, the Eternal One, is also Lord, the Beautiful One.

Everything he does lasts forever, and everything He does is beautiful. He plants his Spirit of eternity in the hearts of his people, creating in us a spirit of beauty that will reflect his own forever. ...we see that forever is intricately associated with beauty, and both are gifts from God.
