I had learned about Ambrose of Milan this week and was amazed by one of the greatest accomplishments of his ministry. God had used him to touched and influenced one of the greatest contributor of the development of our church. Through this I've learned and affirmed that when we serve God and speak His word it will never be in vain because the Holy Spirit will really work in the people that we are ministering to through the efforts that we make.
Many times I heard stories from the ministers being frustrated and exhausted because they have been toiling and yet not even seeing the fruit of their labors. Even if I am just a weekender in the church that I am serving for almost four years I also had experienced and thought about this. It is really disappointing when you've given the best in you and it seemed like there is no reaction of growth from the people that you expect to grow. I remember how God carry me through that frustration and taught me to fully depend in His power. Yes! Many times I toiled with my own strength for the ministry and forgot to lift it up to Him and be fully dependent in Him about its results. He had taught me to pray and ask Him for the people in my ministry to grow in Him. By this the glory will not be recorded to me but to Him who is very much deserving to receive it.
I will always ask God to help me, I will with His help, love the people whom He loves so that I can genuinely pray and minister to them.
