God Wastes Nothing

Have you been cheated on? God will use it to forge you into a man no man could possibly become without going through the hell you suffered.

Have you been disrespected by your boss? God is using it. It may not feel like it, but your identity is being reshaped in the person of Jesus Christ instead of your manager at work. 

Are you suffering from sickness or disease? God will use it. Though your body may be hurting, weak, and failing, God is doing something on the inside that no one can see but Him and eventually you will too. 

Know this: in your lowest of low moments, God will not allow a single drop of pain, shed of a tear, or stab to the heart go without purpose. 

Yeah, but I sure don’t see it! 

True. And if you did, maybe you wouldn’t have to exercise as much faith to trust and believe that God has a reason for what He's doing in your life. He does ALL things well. Not some things. ALL things. Even the things that cut deep.   

How can you say that when you have no idea what I’ve been through? You don’t know what people did to me. What my dad did to me as a kid. How my mom treated me as a teenager. How my spouse took advantage of me. 

You’re right, I don’t. And I won’t pretend to. 

But Jesus does. And His love is so immense that He was willing to be treated like trash even when He stood as the only One who never committed a single wrong.

And even when it hurts so badly that you can’t hold on, don't worry. God won’t let go of you. He went too far and suffered too much to let your and my sufferings in this life count for nothing. 

God. Wastes. Nothing.
