“Nothing Is Wasted”
Beloved, in God’s kingdom, nothing is ever wasted—not the pain, not the waiting, not the loss, not even the mistakes. God has a way of turning every trial into a testimony and every setback into a setup for something greater. What felt pointless in one season becomes powerful in the next.
The Old Testament reminds us of this in Genesis 50:20, when Joseph told his brothers: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” What others meant for evil, God used for redemption. And the New Testament echoes this truth in 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.” Not some things—all things. Even your pain is producing purpose.
So Beloved, take heart—God is the Master Recycler. He wastes nothing. Every tear watered your growth. Every failure taught you faith. Every detour led you closer to destiny. You may not see it yet, but heaven never discards what it can redeem.
Pray with me:
Father God, thank You that nothing in my life is wasted. Even when I don’t understand, I trust that You are working all things together for my good and Your glory. Help me to see purpose in the pain and strength in the struggle. In Jesus’ name, we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen and Amen!
