Use My Life for Your Glory
A Reflection on 1 Corinthians 10:31 and John 15:8
Use my life for Your glory—not for my name, not for my fame,
But for the honor of the One who took my sin and shame.
Let every breath, every step, every word I speak,
Be a vessel that carries Your glory, though I am weak.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
Use my hands—to heal, to serve, to lift the fallen, to build the broken.
Use my feet—to carry good news, to walk where love has spoken.
Use my voice—to proclaim Your grace, to comfort the distressed.
Use my heart—to love as You have loved, to give the weary rest.
I am not my own—I have been bought with a price.
Not for my purposes, not for my plans, but as a living sacrifice.
So take the ordinary moments, the small and hidden days,
And let them burn with holy fire, reflecting Your endless praise.
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
Use my failures—to display Your mercy.
Use my weakness—to show Your strength.
Use my story—to tell of Your victory.
Use my life—no matter the length.
For this is my highest calling, my deepest joy, my single aim:
That when others look upon me, they will not see my name,
But the glory of the Father, the grace of Christ the Son,
And the fellowship of the Spirit, in me, through me—may it be done.
This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples. (John 15:8)
So here I am, Lord. Use me.
For Your glory. Amen.
