Nothing is wasted

I haven't done well at all this year at being an encourager in the some of the best waysI know how. Life and other things have gotten the best of me it seems. And as I just sat down to have a date with Jesus on my couch,I turned on pandora and I heard a song, and wanted to share it and this;

Sometimes your in those seasons of life where you feel like you have failed, or that your efforts are pointless, that the pain and frustration will never end, that your stuck. And people tell you, just endure, God is good, and sometimes, that just doesn't help. I have been in this season, numerous times, and expect to experience quite a few more, but I also know quite a few people who have experienced and are experiencing this season too. And this song, reminded me of those seasons, that there is hope and God is there and those seasons are not wasteful even though they often feel like it. God is still working for our good, He can revive, redeem, and restore every part of who we are and our lives. Even when we are unfaithful, He is faithful (this promise and truth, has been especially precious to me recently). We don't deserve the goodness of God, yet He lavishes us with it, and Himself. Nothing is wasted.

Even when you feel tired or weary, and don't want to pray or read, put on some music. Say 3 words...God help me. And I bet you, something will happen in you. Maybe not right at that second, but just wait for it a little, and The Spirit will start whispering, and your heart will start crying out, you will hear something that resonates, that will restore your hope, restore even an ounce of joy, bring some peace...hold onto that, and allow yourself to be drawn in. God works all things for his good. 

This song is called nothing is wasted, and it's by elevation worship. 

You know my every need

You see my poverty

You are enough for me, Jesus

You gave the blind man sight

You raised the dead to life

You've done the same for me, Jesus

You are loving, You are wise

There is nothing in my life You cannot revive

You are loving, You are wise

There is nothing too hard for our God

Your word inside of me

My strength, my everything

My hope will always be Jesus

Your breath inside my lungs

You're worthy of my trust

You will forever be Jesus

You are loving, You are wise

There is nothing in my life You cannot revive

You are loving, You are wise

There is nothing too hard for our God

Nothing is wasted

You work all things for good

Nothing is wasted

Your promise remains

Forever You reign
