It was brought to my attention last night by a brother that Christ never wants us to be negative. For example we should not announce the lack of support from others but exalt the support we do find. We should not Count failures but count successes. We should quit defining success on our terms, such as number of attendees to a meeting, but instead measure it in Jesus's terms, such as are we striving for the kingdom of God. One person fed is a success. One struggling family brought back to the church is astounding. Who cares if only three people show up (Matthew 18, 20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them)as long as the three of you are joyfully doing the work of God. Let's not let the baggage of past failure slow us down but move forward to serve God with our spiritual gifts.
