Nor do we boast and claim credit for the work someone else has done. Instead, we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work among you will be extended. -2 Corinthians 10:15 (NLT)
HARVEST FROM FAITH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you boast when you have completed tasks and tests?
Do you ever claim credit for the work of someone else?
Have you ever imposed your way on someone and something?
Do you consider other people’s priorities and feelings?
When you work on your faith, your boundaries will grow
Your growth will extend to those you touch lives and sow
God’s kingdom will spread throughout the ends of the earth
You will reap a harvest that goes beyond this life and yourself.
Have you ever planted something in a pot like a plant or a flower? Isn’t it with expectancy that you wait for a tiny little sprout to come out of the soil? Then as you water and give it sunshine, you see it grow inch by inch. In a few days or week, you reap what you sowed.
The bible tells us to grow our faith so that we can extend the kingdom of God’s boundaries throughout the earth. We cannot boast or claim credit for someone else’s work, but work our way to increasing our faith.
PRAYER
Lord, inspire me to grow my faith.
