I was watching Rob Bell's "Drops Like Stars" last week and found it really encouraging. Everyone looking to find God in pain should watch it--which is likely all of us since we all experience trouble at some point or another.
While there were many takeaways, the one that is sticking with me today is the truth that "God wastes nothing". Days of sadness, conversations of miscommunication-filled confusion, time spent sinning, friendships gone wrong and mistakes--big mistakes--that seem to only cause heartbreak....all of it is used by God to make me into what he wants me to become. All of it is used to glorify him, redeemed from the ugliest of ugly and made beautiful. While I believe this today, believing it for specific mistakes and situations is definitely more difficult.
Lucky for me, regardless of whether I believe it at all times, it's true.
