"Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men..." It's important to remember that we are the fishermen. HE is the catcher of men! Ministry is not about me. It's not about us. It's about HIM! That's why I can never tell you that I've led anyone to the Lord.
Jesus told that "NO ONE comes to the Father unless HE draws them..." He also said that "if He is lifted up, HE will draw all men" to Him. Ministry is about Jesus. It's about lifting HIS name up; not ours! It's about HIS Kingdom; not ours!
But it sure is fun to watch Him touch people's lives. He invites us to sit on the front row, center stage and watch Him do what He does best...To touch. To bless. To wipe away tears. To restore hope. To give peace. To love. To laugh with children. To weep with those who are grieving. To heal. To save. May we be in awe of HIM, not one another. He alone is the worthy One!
PS -- Please don't read this as a criticism. May we just readjust our gaze and our vision to the one who truly deserves all glory.
Thank you, thank you for walking with us.
God bless you!!
