use
Never consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
son goal use
The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us. God calls us to His service and places tremendous responsibilitie s on us. He expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part. God wants to use us as He used His own Son.
perfect purpose use
I am called to live in such a perfect relationship with God that my life produces a yearning for God in the lives of others, not admiration for myself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. God’s purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
use
Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.
crush wine use
God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with.
prayer cover-ups use
See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.
thinking use alone-with-god
When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.
giving exhausted used
Are you willing to give and be poured out until you are used up and exhausted-not seeking to be ministered to, but to minister?
christian son use
God wants to use us as He used His own Son
christian use word-of-god
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
people use theory
We must keep ourselves in touch, not with theories, but with people, and never get out of touch with human beings, if we are going to use the word of God skilfully amongst them.
waiting use firsts
We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.
hinder usefulness
Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God.
battle used
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
