Nothing in your life is wasted

[prismaticbleed]

 "God began a good work in you. And He will continue this work in you until the day Jesus Christ returns. I am sure of this."

...Me? You are working in me?? You are using me, this wretched weak thing, to do Your good works? 

Every time I read something like that, I cannot comprehend it. I hope for it desperately, but... I'm afraid to believe it. And yet there it is, in Scripture. 

"Nothing in my life is wasted." What if my entire life is a waste? But even that cannot hinder Your creative, restorative, miraculous Power-- the Power You wield in unfathomable Love. Even my life, a total failure in the eyes of all but You, CAN become redeemed in Your Hands. Yes it sounds impossible, but You Are God. You delight in proving Your opposition wrong. You glorify Yourself most strikingly when it is obvious that ONLY You COULD have done such a thing.
When there is no hope, there is still You.
