the God who wastes nothing


these last few weeks have been saturated with truth of who God is. He has ever so gently decimated the tiny walls of which i had forced Him inside. this demolition has brought not just relief, but physical relief. the tension i carried around in my forehead as i desperately tried to make sense of Him on my own terms has dissolved, letting His unfathomable nature flow unencumbered by my humanity. one such truth revealed through His Spirit is that He is the God who wastes nothing.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

i heard beth moore discuss this idea earlier this week saying, "He would prevent (not permit) what He's allowed to happen in our lives unless it was/is/will be used for our good and His glory. Not one bit of our life details are intended by God to be wasted...so quit despising these things...they were allowed to equip us"

His timing is perfect. His purposes are good.

His love that fills us is transcendent.
