In God’s economy, nothing is wasted. – Bill W.

This is one of my favorite sayings. Remembering it has lifted me from despair for it filled me with hope knowing that there is a purpose to everything.

And, in a different vein, this saying has come to mind, for instance, when I’d gone astray in a new locale or on a project. Later on the knowledge picked up from that ‘accidental’ experience helped handily in a current situation – and brought a smile to my face as I thought of God’s hand in the situation, making sure that nothing was wasted.

Nothing is wasted in God’s economy for everything has meaning and purpose. For me, this is another way of stating that everything is a blessing.

And so it truly is in God’s world.
