1 CorinthiansChapter 31 Brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now, 3 for you are still of the flesh. While there is jealousy and rivalry among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving in an ordinary human way? 4 Whenever someone says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not merely human? 5 What is Apollos, after all, and what is Paul? Ministers through whom you became believers, just as the Lord assigned each one. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. 7 Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters are equal, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor. 9 For we are God's co-workers; you are God's field, God's building.

PsalmsChapter 3312 Happy the nation whose God is the LORD, the people chosen as his very own. 13 From heaven the LORD looks down and observes the whole human race, 14 Surveying from the royal throne all who dwell on earth. 15 The one who fashioned the hearts of them all knows all their works. 20 Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and shield. 21 For in God our hearts rejoice; in your holy name we trust

LukeChapter 438 After he left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. 39 He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them. 40 At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. 41 And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Messiah. 42 At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them. 43 But he said to them, "To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent." 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

I think a lot of the time we are to hard on ourselves. When we try to do to much or think we are not doing enough. I have heard a lot of people talk about not seeing the change in people when they are trying to help them. We are not called to make people grow, we are not even able to. We are called to water and feed them. The growing is for God. It is hard to step back and look at our life from another perspective and see how much we have actually done. We should learn from George Bailey. We may not think the world would be different if we weren't around, but God has used us all to feed and water a lot more than we give ourselves credit for. I think we all need to learn to be easier on ourselves and be patient with the way God is using us and not till up the land before we have seen what God is growing.
