神可以使用每一个人
1月31日
因我活着就是基督，我死了就有益处。（腓1:21）
海伦·凯勒是面对生命残疾的伟大榜样。她说：“为我身体的残疾感谢神，通过残疾我找到了自己，找到了工作，更重要的是找到了神。”一些残疾人总是陷入自怨自艾，这样不但限制了他们自身的优点，也限制他们服侍人和神。使徒保罗知道患难的痛苦，他善于运用自身的弱点，而不是被弱点利用，他因神的荣耀去使用这些弱点。他抓紧一切机会甚至是死亡，去荣耀神。不管命运如何，他总能跃过去并且使用它赞美他的救主。
今日祷告
主耶稣啊，我的缺陷你都可以使用。像使徒保罗一样，让我因你的荣耀克服这些缺陷。
He Can Use Anyone

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
—Philippians 1:21
Helen Keller, who is a classic example of handling life’s handicaps, said, “I thank God for my handicaps, for through them I have found myself, my work, and my God.” Some people with handicaps drown themselves in self-pity, and thus limit their usefulness and service to mankind and to God. The Apostle Paul knew the pangs of suffering. He used his infirmity rather than allowing his infirmity to use him, and he used it for the glory of God. He seized everything, even death, to glorify his Lord. No matter which way fate turned, he was one jump ahead of it, and using it to magnify his Savior.
Prayer for the day
Even my handicaps can be used by You, Lord Jesus. Like the Apostle Paul, let me rise above them for Your glory.
