God wastes nothing

God wastes nothing.

Amen.

Seriously, how majestic is our Creator and King that everything we experience in this life is not wasted? IF we don’t stand in His way.

Lord may I not stand in your way. May I waste nothing. May I not waste what I am experiencing now. May I not waste the pain, heartache, frustration, and tears.  Let them be used for Your glory in some way.

We, as humans, have this trust issue.  We cannot see God. Therefore, it is hard to trust Him.  It’s even harder to trust Him if we are not letting our minds be rewired for it.  We sit around and complain about our problems and issues.  We sit and mope.  It’s the human in us.  Those things won’t do us any good.  In case you were wondering, I’m telling myself this. Lately, I’ve just wanted to stay in bed. Hide. Lick my wounds.  But that’s not who I am. That’s not who God wants me to be. That’s not how I heal.  I heal by letting Christ in. I heal by letting Him remove the recurrent sin of a wandering heart in my life.  How can I ask for His blessings, forgiveness, and love, if I grasp onto sin like a small child clings to her teddy bear?  I know it’s bad for me and I know it’s wrong. I know that a lot of things I go through, I bring on myself because I’m holding that diseased teddy bear.

Nothing in my life is a waste unless I refuse to let God use it.

But how can I let this go to waste?’

I trust Him.  I walk in faith.

Lord, open my eyes and move.

Let me trust You.

Use what’s going on in my life for Your glory.

Lord let me trust You so that I may not waste what is going on in my life.

What would our faith be like if we walked in this trust? What would our stories be like if we didn’t let anything go to waste? If we walked in enough faith to walk away from the sins that so easily entangle us? If we believed that admitting we were imperfect and walked in new life was bigger and better than the fear of admitting weakness? (There’s that word again, weakness)

What are we doing as Christians if we are letting Satan speak louder into our fellow faith walker’s life than us? We are failing. We aren’t walking in the faith that we need to, just like they are. They need healing. We need healing. I need healing.

What I am going through is not wasted if I let the Lord use. If I let the Lord heal me. If I allow my heart to break for those who are hurting just like me.

Alright, I’m doing rambling now.
