2 Corinthians 3:16-18
But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Reflection
The emotions during our struggles are real. And God’s healing in these areas of our life is real. As we share our story, people appreciate our genuine vulnerability and begin asking questions. That’s how God starts to use our pain to guide us to ministry ... a place of connection and common ground with the pain felt by others. As we provide comfort, encouragement and direction to others, we will begin to “take away the veil” and allow others to connect their story to God’s story.
How have you seen God use your brokenness as a way to connect others to God?
Can you name a struggle in your life that you would like to see God transform into a gift to others?
