He preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ quite openly and without hindrance (Acts 28:31).<\/h2>\n

Imagine that you are a soldier guarding Paul during his home imprisonment in Rome. He must have had this great apostle and evangelizer in his sight until the end of his life. During his travels, Paul endured many hardships and demonstrated his faithfulness to the faith. Now he can use two years of relative calm to organize his affairs. He wrote many letters to the ecclesial community he founded and tried to compete with his opponents.
Most importantly, however, he never stopped announcing Jesus to anyone willing to listen. Even now, at the end of his life, Paul continued to publish and admonish. Although imprisoned and under constant surveillance, he continued to preach the gospel, teach, and pray for the immature, beginning Church. Especially now that Paul seems to have lost everything, he remains vital to God.<\/h2>\n

Some of us may be in a similar situation\u2014slower due to age, health problems, or other limitations. However, despite our limitations, we will never lack the opportunity to serve God. The Lord will always need us! Like Paul, we can continue to spread the gospel. In prayer, we can intercede for our personal, family, or worldwide needs. We can write to our loved ones and encourage them in their relationship with God. Remember, you are always useful to the Lord! Or that you are incompetent! Jesus accepts everything you do, big or small, and fills it with His grace and transforming power. Your experience, faithfulness, and even your suffering are immensely valuable to God’s kingdom! You can powerfully influence your friends, family, and neighbors through your presence, which radiates faith wherever you are!<\/h2>\n\n\n
