Not to fix, but to be faithful

God has not called me to fix things (my life, or my child), but to be faithful.
We must preach, but only He can save.
We plant and water, but He must make it grow.

Only He can fix the brokenness in my life.  The means He uses might well be my faithfulness in it, but the results are His domain, not mine.

I will always be discouraged if I am feeling responsibility for that which only God can do.

"What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth." (1Corinthians 3:5-7)
