The other day, I picked up a Pistachio Latte at Starbucks.
As I sipped the tasty beverage, I noticed the message on the cup: “This cup is made with recycled fiber.”
Recycled fiber is material that’s been converted to make new objects.
When you recycle material, you don’t throw it away, but you use it in a new way. When you recycle material, you don’t waste it.
Likewise, God doesn’t waste anything you go through. God can pull purpose out of the pain, a blessing out of the burden, and good out of the bad.
