Men treat God's sovereignty as a theme for controversy, but in Scripture it is matter for worship.

You must learn, you must let God teach you, that the only way to get rid of your past is to make a future out of it. God will waste nothing.

I believe that God both wills and is able to bring good out of everything, even the worst... I believe that even our mistakes and wrongdoing are not fruitless.
