Places Of Waste

“Have you ever as though the whole day was a waste? Or possibly the issue is even bigger than that? Maybe you feel as if you’ve wasted years. The job you’ve had for decades is eliminated. A relationship you thought would last forever didn’t. Someone you love leaves this world way too soon and you think, What a waste.

Whatever place of waste you may find yourself in, today the Lord has a promise for you: there will again be joy and gladness. There will be times of celebration and cause for praise because the Lord is good (Jeremiah 33:10-11)

We can know that even if we can’t see it now, joy and gladness are coming. God’sfaithful love endures forever. He makes flowers bloom in barren deserts (Isaiah 35:1) because He’s all about restoring what looks to us like a complete loss. He can take our places of waste and make them places of joy…” (Joyful)
