“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.”
I Corinthians 3:6-8 NKJV
This scripture made me realize that we are to be team players and not to be patting ourselves on the back. Our works do not get us into heaven, but our works are to be done in faith and glorify God.
We are partners in the family of Christ---brothers and sisters---so we should not think more highly of ourselves. We are to be humble before God and one another.
Prayer:
Father, please help us to strive each day to reach out to others. To give the good news, be a listening ear, cry with one another and laugh with one another. Whatever the need may be help us to be the 'light' that is shed upon it. Most importantly we want our actions and words to glorify You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
