Let Him use your abilities

The Flagellation of Our Lord Jesus Christ (1880)Image via WikipediaLet Him use your abilities
"Our life is full of brokenness - broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations.  How can we live with that broken expectations.  How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God's faithful presence in our lives. - Henri Nouwen

"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we aurselves are comforted of God." - II Corinthians 1:3, 4 (KJV)

Although it appears to be the worst of times, something seems to be happening across the world - people are searching for a "better quality of life."  We're reminded of Isaiah 6:8, when the Lord asked, "and whom shall I send, and who will go for me?"

God's desire is to use His people to carry the message of hope in Christ to a searching and hurting world.  If there is ever a time for Godly leadership, servanthood and Christian Lifestyle training - it is now.
