HUMBLING
Today's reading: 2 Corinthians 11-13

"Yes, I am afraid that when I come, God will humble me again because of you..." 2 Corinthians 12:21 NLT

Paul was afraid of being disappointed by the gifted Christians he had watched start out on their path towards godliness.

He was scared to find out they had given up, thrown in the towel, settled for less than God's best.

Paul knew he had done what God had asked of him, but deep down, he wanted to see the progress we want to see today in the lives of those we're ministering to.

It was humbling.

It is humbling.

It's something we all want to be a part of, to see succeed, to see grow-sprout-produce a harvest.

And when we don't, it disappoints.
