--NOTHING IS USELESS~~

~~"Nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."
--(1 Corinthians 15:58/ NLT)--

~~In my third year battling discouragement and depression caused by limited mobility and chronic pain, I confided to a friend, "My body's falling apart. I feel like I have nothing of value to offer God or anyone else."

"Would you say it doesn't make a difference when I greet you with a smile or listen to you?" she asked. "Would you tell me it's worthless when I pray for you?"

"Of course not."

"Then why are you telling yourself those lies? You do all those things for me and for others."

I thanked God for reminding me that nothing we do for Him is useless.

Because God promises we'll be resurrected through Christ (1 Corinthians 15:43), we can trust Him to use every small effort done for Him to make a difference in His kingdom (v.58).

Even when we're physically limited, a smile, a word of encouragement, a prayer, or a display of faith during our trial can be used to minister to others. When we serve the Lord, no job or act of love is too menial to matter. It is for the Lord that "we live and move and have our being' -[Acts 17:28]
