The Apostle Paul sent out a plea to Philemon for Onesimus. Who in the world is that? Onesimus was Philemon’s slave. What? Yes, his slave. Slave? Yes, I know that’s strange but listen at what Paul says about Onesimus. Paul says that Onesimus was once “unprofitable” but now he is “profitable.” Paul is saying that Onesimus is useful. Why is that? Because Onesimus found Christ! Believers, you and I are "useful" today because of our "slave" relationship in Christ! That’s a kool thought! It is TRUTH! We are "Useful" to Jesus!
Lord Jesus, You took us when we were nothing of any worth and made us something of value. You made us useful. You make us useful. We are useful. Use us we pray. Amen.

I'm not sure if I'm all that useful to God, or any use at all? However, I do know He uses me because I know I am valuable to Him. Humbled... ALL JOY!
