Sad Success - #6547
For 2,000 years, Jesus has been the sustaining fulfillment for millions of us when life's spotlights go off. He's been the one love that's cherished us like no other, to the point of laying down His life so we wouldn't have to die for our sins. Until we commit ourselves to this God who gave His life for us and then rose from the grave to be alive to come into our life, our hearts are, in the Bible's words, "like the tossing sea which cannot rest...there is no peace" (Isaiah 57:20-21 ).

"Return" in the Bible: Isaiah 55:10-11
God's Word never fails to accomplish its purpose. As this verse put it, it never returns "empty" without having had the intended effect.

Return Void - a Christian perspective
Isaiah says that God's word will not return void. As it goes out of his mouth it accomplishes what He intends and where He intends.

Void in the Bible: Isaiah 55:10-11
God's words are never wasted. They always accomplish what they are intended to accomplish. We need never worry overmuch about how people seem to be reacting to God's Word, because we know that whatever purpose God has in mind, it will be accomplished, whether or not we think we've succeeded.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Deep Holes, Beautiful Discoveries - #3926
I'll bet a lot of folks weren't very happy about that big hole in the ground opening up. It probably was a pain for some people -- potentially dangerous for others. But the "problem" of that sinkhole turned out to be the access route to beauty like those folks had never seen before. That has happened to a lot of us - when a big hole has opened up in our life. When things collapsed. And it may be that God is wanting you to look beyond that big hole - to see the undiscovered beauty that's underneath it.
