We need the hope of Scripture as a salve to our greatest pain. Thankfully a friend took me directly to Scripture and pointed me to the words of God, and the hope that not all was lost after all. One that made me question the very heart of God. I came to know this truth even greater at a time in my life where I was consumed with a great personal loss. There is not one bit of pain that we walk through in this life that he will not use to point us back to Him in all of His majesty and glory.
Scripture time and again brings us back to the place where we are reminded that nothing in God’s hands is wasted or without hope. What seems hopeless in front of us, finds its cure in Christ. It can look as though there is no solution or that our pain will surely eat us alive, but the reality is that our temporal view is missing a heavenly perspective. Our circumstances often blind us to truth.įrom our earthly view things can look too hard, or impossible. We let go of the promises of Scripture, forget His character, and ignore the victory that is coming. We can look at our circumstances and be so blinded by the pain and tribulation they cause that we fail to see how God may use it, or meet us in it. The pain of this life is not without purpose, and nothing, absolutely not one bit of it will go to waste in God’s hands. I have repeated it to hurting friends, as well as to the woman who looks back at me in the mirror.
For some deities, beauty is only one of several aspects they represent, or a lesser one. The following is a list of beauty deities across different cultures. Classic examples in the Western culture are the Greek goddess Aphrodite and her Roman counterpart, Venus. The phrase “nothing is wasted” has left my lips many times in the last four months. A beauty deity is a god or (usually) goddess associated with the concept of beauty.
