Nothing Wasted

I loved being on Granddaddy's farm. Granny would cook on a wood oven, and there was a wood stove in the living room that heated the whole house. It was a place of great adventure and wonder.


There was a place for everything at their house. Everything had a purpose; nothing ever seemed to be used up. Nothing was ever wasted.

God is the same way. He never wastes anything. More importantly, He never wastes anyone.

There is great comfort in that truth. Jeremiah echoed those words when he penned these words from God:

"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."  -Jeremiah 29:11

Dear ones, God is not finished with you!

"He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you."  - Philippians 1:6

God doesn't waste anything - not even the faith He gives us to trust Him. I encourage you to let Him do His work in you, for you, and through you for the sake of others.
