With God nothing is wasted. As we walk this journey here on earth it may sometimes seem like God is supplying us through a trickle-down effect, a drip, or an overflow. Although we would like to see the fruits of our labor sooner than later, there will be times when you think that your efforts are wasted. When it comes to the Kingdom of God remember that nothing is wasted. You may have put in the work over and over and nothing has shown up to validate your labor. Just because you don’t see it does not mean that it’s not happening. The teacher is silent while the test is being given. One day you will wake up and realize that something you prepared yourself for is now showing up at your doorstep. At the time when you put in the work you thought you were creating a different scenario for your life, but God took what you did and showed you a new way to use your talents and abilities.
Think about a water facet or an outside spicket for your water hose, that continually drips over a long period of time. I’ve had that happen with both of these. You may not feel that a tiny drip is making a different, but when you get your water bill that’s another story. In addition, that little drip from the outside water spicket could also be affecting the inside of the home in ways that you can’t see. Now let’s apply that same scenario to our daily lives. The good deed that you do today or the smile that you share with someone can go a long way. What seemed like a small effort on your part when you got up early to attend an event, or stayed late to accomplish a goal may take years before you see the results. As I grasp new ideas and create new adventures for myself in business and pleasure, every day I feel like I am opening up a new gift from God! So remember, with God nothing is wasted!
