1 Corinthians 3:6-7
6I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

Our toils in reaching out to the people of this world is never left wasted. God has his own timing. When there are times that we get discouraged in the ministry, we must remember that God has a purpose for everything. Sometimes we forget that it is God who works... not because we worked hard or we created a wonderful program for the kids, but because it is the power of God. Truly God is awesome and He knows what's in our hearts. He comforts us when it seems like our toils go nowhere. The good news is, it is never wasted. God blesses those who faithfully serve Him. Yes, there are struggles and hardships that come along the way, but we must never give up. By faith, we are able to move and have our being. When it seems like nothing's happening, keep moving. God is at work.

I sometimes work so hard with the youth that I get frustrated when times don't seem to look like how it should be. But yet, I cannot live by sight... I cannot serve by sight... I cannot walk by sight... it's gotta be by FAITH. I know that God is at work in my ministry and I will never ever give up.

Lord, may you pls give me the strength and comfort to continually move forward in the ministry that you have entrusted me. Help me not to have the option to give up, but to always press forward to the goal that you have set for me. Help me not to live and serve by sight, but always by FAITH. Thank you so much for everything, You are just truly amazing. I Love You Jesus!!!
