Are you being used by God here on Earth?

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
We are comforted so that we may be a comfort to others. God doesn’t bless us because we are somehow uniquely better than everyone else, but He blesses us specifically to equip, empower, and encourage us to be a blessing and a comfort to others. God has need of human hands and feet here on earth to do the work of His ministry. But, God has human hands to use only when we are willing to allow Him to use ours for His glory and for His purposes. God can only use you if He dwells (lives) in you. Remember He is in Heaven and relies on us here on Earth. It is our job to see that it is on Earth just as it is in Heaven.

MY PRAYER…
Tender Shepherd, there have been times when I was so broken I could not go on alone. I know the strength to continue came from Your rich grace and unfailing mercy, acquired through the prayers of someone on my behalf. Please use me this week to offer Your comfort and love to others so they may feel Your warm embrace and come to yearn more and more for the day when we will see You face to face in that glorious reunion in heaven.
Through my brother Jesus, I pray.
Amen
