Carers

C

"God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God."

—1 Corinthians 1:28–29

A while back, I thought of how you, my darling, while suffering from extreme physical pain, have the excellent opportunity to care for someone who is suffering from emotional and relational pain. The point I am making is that those Cared-for became their Carer.

What a wonderful thing!

You are reaching out to your carers and the hospitals to reach them for Jesus Christ. You and I are in a position to reach people that no one else can get. God wants to use us, and when He does, we should ensure we give Him glory.

When the great apostle Paul and Barnabas were preaching in a town, a man there who had never walked from birth was listening to Paul preach. Paul could see that this man had the faith to be healed. So Paul drew closer and said to him, “Stand up on your feet!”

This man, who had never walked before, jumped to his feet and began walking and leaping. This astonished the crowd watching, and some shouted, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

The Bible then goes on to say many men were planning to bring sacrifices to them. But Paul and Barnabas rent their clothes and cry out, “Men, why are you doing this? We are men like you and we preach to you that you should turn from your idols to the living God.” In other words, “Don’t give us the credit! Please don’t give us the glory! We are here to tell you to turn away from putting your faith in people, idols, or anything else.”

Do you want to be used more by God? Then dare to pray and you shall find that God will answer it. Say, “Lord, use me even more.” He may answer sooner than you expect.

 With Acute and Long-lasting love,

Dearest Sweetie,

I thank Pastor Greg Laurie for the initial full sermon. Of which this post is a poorer and shorter version.

I commend harvest.org to you
