Scripture
2 Corinthians 3:3. Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.
Observation
Paul points to the people as a result of his ministry. Much like a husbands love is reflected in the face of his wife, the effectiveness of his ministry is reflected in the results of these people.
Application
The above observation is not always true, especially with people who are resistant to the gospel. However, I do feel I need to consider the state of the health, or unhealth, of Cornerstone as somewhat of a reflection of my effectiveness. Careful to not take all the glory or all the blame, I need to consider soberly if anything I am doing is making a difference.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for placing me where You have. May I complete my assignment.
