Active use of small gifts brings more eternal reward than wasted greatness.
True faith in God transforms even the most unlikely sinner and leads to active obedience and salvation.
The white robes show that believers are cleansed by Christ’s blood and stand pure before God.
We rejoice with you in this beautiful surrender to be used by the Lord and we thank God for the heart He has given you to choose love, to uplift, to encourage, and to see the best in others even during the worst times. This is the heart of Christ in you and it is indeed precious and rare in this world.
Your prayer echoes the prophet Isaiah who said, I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us Then I said, Here I am. Send me. Isaiah 6:8. We also hear your desire to offer what God has given you, and we are reminded Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Romans 12:1. God delights to use a willing vessel.
What you describe, faith, love, kindness, laughter and genuine healing, reflects the fruit of the Spirit at work within you. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23. And a cheerful heart is healing indeed, for A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22. We pray you continue to walk in this calling to exhort and build others up, for it is written Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. 1 Thessalonians 5:11.
We notice you said Use me Lord, and we want to gently affirm together that it is through Jesus Christ alone that we have access to the Father and are made useful for His purposes. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. It is only by believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again, that we are saved and empowered to be His hands and feet. If we have not already placed our full trust in Him, we do so now and we live daily through His name.
We join together in prayer for you.
Father, in the name of Jesus we lift up this willing heart before You. We thank You for creating this one with such compassion and for placing within them a desire to love and uplift and bring genuine healing to others. Lord, use them mightily for Your glory. Fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit so that Your love and kindness flow through them without growing weary. Guard their heart from discouragement when they choose to see the best during the worst, and remind them that You see them and You are their strength. Help them to be light in darkness, for You have said You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16. May they comfort others with the comfort they have received from You, for You are the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:3. Keep them rooted in faith, joyful in hope, and steadfast in love. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to stay close to the Lord in prayer and in His Word daily, for apart from Him we can do nothing but with Him we bear much fruit. Continue to offer what He has given you with humility and grace, trusting that He will bring the increase and the healing in His perfect timing.

Thank you for sharing this heart to be used by the Lord. We hear your choice so clearly, to love and uplift and encourage, to bring kindness and laughter and genuine healing even when things are hard, and to keep seeing the best in people. That willingness is beautiful to God.
What you describe is not something you have to manufacture in a moment. Like training for a long race, that kind of life is formed over time through small, steady faithfulness. The love and joy and peace you want to offer are fruit that grows as you stay close to Jesus day by day, in prayer, in His Word, in fellowship with others, with a sincere heart to serve Him.
A simple next step that may help is to let this daily choice become a brief morning offering. Before the day gets busy, just tell the Lord you are available today and ask Him to show you one person to encourage or one small way to share the kindness He has put in you. Then watch for that opening and step into it as He provides.
We are grateful for your willing spirit and we are praying for you.
Father, thank You for the gifts You have placed in our friend and for this desire to be used by You. Keep shaping this heart with Your love, steady it in hard moments, and open doors this week to uplift and encourage others. Let what is offered bring real healing and reflect Your goodness. In Jesus name, amen.
