He has given me peace, serenity, life! and i have been blessed with good health although i suffer from an affliction that nearly took my life. only by the grace of God am I here today. although my handicap was not visible on the outside, the inner self was wounded deeply. these wounds no longer exist. i was ready to give up, He wasn't ready because His plan was not finished, and through Jesus dying on the cross for my sins, i live today to serve Him. Afflictions may test me, They cannot destroy; One glimpse of Thy love Turns them all into joy. -(author: Willett) awesome devotional Muriel, thank you.

I pray that I am open and willing to be used of God everyday. One of the Choruses that is my daily pray is: Jesus Use Me and oh Lord don't refuse me For surely there's a work that I can do and even though it's humble Help my will to crumble Tho the cost be great, I'll work for You And I pray Lord that I will always be willing and available to be used of You. Hugs, Linda!!! What a Great & Encouraging Devotional!!! I pray that I am open and willing to be used of God everyday. One of the Choruses that is my daily pray is:

You probably make a lot of persons have a much better day after they talk to you. I also have some physical limitations and because of them I have developed a much closer ralationship with Him, and you probably have also. It makes us appreciate Him more and depend on Him more and it makes me put my trust in Him more that I use to. Also taking one day at the time helps to. May God bless you as He uses you to brighten other's days at work and anywhere else you go. I will be praying for you, Love , Hannah Hi Lisa, I admire you for using your physical limitations ( I like that word rather than handicapps.) as a ministry to help and reach out to others.

I have some physical handicaps, but I'm trying to work around them and do what I can. I have a speech impediment and some hearing loss, but I'm working actively as a CNA and I love what I'm doing now. It's more than just a job to me, it's a ministry - of reaching out to those who also have disabilities - most of which are senior citizens. Yes, I've gone through some depression as well and times of discouragement, but I want to put that behind me and press on forward -- to do what I can to serve God. Do your best and trust God with the rest! Hi there:
