It’s an interesting word to come about.
I remember the first time talking with a friend, asking me about my daughter. And i said, I just hope to raise her so that she would be “useful” for the Lord.
Then the next day, another friend commented on watsapp about being useful.
But earlier that morning, I read letter of Philemon…..and there, actually Paul named a slaved Onesimus, which means useful. I don’t think they are all coincidence………How come so many….and
The day after that, I listened to a brazilian / spanish boy singing on youtube. This the interesting bit…break me, change me, fill me, use me O Lord. With more specific things: as lighthouse, as shelter, as bridge, as arrow……. How interesting
Useful for the Lord, and they come in many different forms. They stand against the environment for a purpose. I don’t know which role the Lord will assign me. So just now I prayed, and afterward, the word came to me “Onesimo“. Maybe that’s the short form of Useful for the Lord.
