"The laws of physics tell us that energy in the universe is never lost. It is simply transformed from one state to another. So it is with human experience. Nothing is ever lost entirely. God uses every happening to accomplish His divine purpose." - Dr. James Dobson
This is one of the most encouraging affirmations I have read in a while and definitely something I needed to be reminded of. I think we all can have a tendency to fixate on our mistakes and failures and dwell on the distressing consequences of them. We regret things like wasted time and missed opportunities, and all of the “what ifs” and "should haves" can keep us awake at night. But, despite the way we flounder around and foul up, it is comforting to know that not only does God hold us close and want to forgive us, but His goodness is always at work in the lives of His children. He even promises to restore what has been forfeited, lost or stolen (Joel 2:25). Amazing. And God never breaks a promise.
God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19
