1 | The possible hindrance agsinst being use | 2 Cor 8:12 | EddieB. | 194353 | ||
Hi. I saw your question, and I am not an expert, but if you go by Saul's standard of being used by God, it can be a bit misleading. God loves us, I believe, unconditionally, not because we are lovely, but because He IS love, and because of what He did through Jesus. So IMO, God will use you as much as you want to be used, and as much as you believe he wants to use you. I believe we are only under the New Covenant restrictions of the NT and loving God and loving each other is the most important thing.after all , without love we are nothing. God can use you every day , all day in ways you can't imagine, to encourage and inspire people. Just ask Him and He will show you. He gave us all individual and unique talents and gifts that he wants to use to help others, so whether God uses you , is not dependent upon how good you have been, but asking God to make you usable, and then asking for opportunities for Him to use you, and asking for His help in recognizing those opportunities. None lives to himself and we are all here to help each other. But of course, we must be willing to be used, and that is a great start! |

2 | ? "if you leave, I shall remain here" | 2 Tim 2:13 | EddieB. | 194074 | ||
Hello, and greetings. I am new here. I saw your post as I was searching the verse 2Tim 2:13 and want to express my condolences for your loss. The verse you are searching for may be close to these verses I am posting, and I am praying that you and yours find closure and comfort in Him at this difficult time. I don't know if this is along the lines of what you are looking for but I hope it is a comfort to you. John 16:7 However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. John 14:3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you. |
