Anyone who watched the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals witnessed a scary incident. During the first quarter of the game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field following a tackle.
He suffered cardiac arrest. After medics on the field successfully got his heart beating again, he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Now, out of the hospital, he continues to recover. Damar, in a video on social media, says he believes God is already using what happened to him during the football game for good.
“What happened to me on Monday Night Football, I feel, is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world,” Damar said in a video posted to Instagram.
In the video, Damar mentions what he will do with the love and support he’s received during this time.
“And I’m able to give it back to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most, and that’s always been my dream. It’s always been what I stood for and what I’ll continue to stand for,” he said.
Damar also adds that this is just the beginning. He has much bigger plans, and he hopes to continue being a role model for children and helping those in need.
“This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world,” Damar said. “And with God’s guidance, I will continue to do wonderful and great things.”
In the video, Damar also thanked a laundry list of people for their love and support, including his doctors and medical staff, the Bills organization, his teammates, and Bills fans.
2 Timothy 2:21 “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work.”
