Acts 26,19-23

Quite openly and without hindrance, he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ »Acts 28:31.

Imagine that you are a soldier guarding Paul during his home imprisonment in Rome. He must have had this great apostle and evangelizer before his eyes until the end of his life. During his travels, Paul suffered many sufferings and proved his faithfulness in the faith. Now he can use two years of relative calm and organize his affairs. Write many letters to the ecclesial community that 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 continues to preach the gospel, teaching, and praying for the immature, beginning Church. Especially now that Paul seems to be robbed of everything, he is still vital to God.

Some of us may be in a similar situation – slower due to age, health problems, or other limitations. However, despite our limitations, we will never lack the opportunity to serve God. The Lord will never tell us that He will no longer 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. May it never occur to you that you have no use for 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 of immense value to the kingdom of God! You can have a fantastic influence on your friends, family, neighbors, your presence, which radiates faith, no matter where you are!
