Damar Hamlin talks 'God using me' after collapse on field

Everyone who watched the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals witnessed a frightening incident. In the first quarter of the game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after a tackle.

He suffered cardiac arrest. After doctors at the scene managed to get his heart beating again, he was admitted to hospital in critical condition.

Now that he has left the hospital, he continues to recover. Damar says in a video on social media that he believes God is already using what happened to him during the football game for good.

“What happened to me on Monday Night Football is, in my opinion, a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love straight from my heart with the whole world,” Damar said in an Instagram post posted video.

In the video, Damar mentions what he will do with the love and support he has received during this time.

“And I can give it back to the children and communities around the world who need it most, and that has always been my dream. This is what I have always stood for and what I will continue to stand for,” he said.

Damar also adds that this is just the beginning. He has much bigger plans and hopes to continue being a role model for children and helping those in need.

“This is just the beginning of the impact 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 number 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 “So if anyone purifies himself from these, he will be a vessel for glory, sanctified and fit for the use of his Lord, ready for every good work.”
