Today I want to recall the words of AP. Paul, which he speaks of himself and his own ministry: but the grace of God is what I am; And his grace in me was not in vain, but I worked more than all of them: not, however, but the grace of God, which is with me. 1 Cor. 15:10. Here you can see the judgment of the Apostle about the significance and action of the grace of God in His life and ministry. He does not consider himself or his talents the reason or the basis of the success of his ministry, he, as it were, separates himself from grace, ascending it and diminishing himself. And this is a very valuable lesson for us! We live, trying to learn how to serve God and are often upset and disappointed with the fact that we can’t do something. We pray, jealous, we have some kind of vision of what we are called to, but we do not have a “schedule”, there is no understanding of how much time this or that will take, and this is fully consistent with the Scriptures, where the Lord himself says to us: not your It is a matter of knowing the times or terms that the father put in his power. Acts. 1: 7. We do not know how much time we are taking ourselves to ensure that in humility we can give God all the glory for what He intends to commit through us. Therefore, languor arises, as it is written: hope that does not come true for a long time languishes. Prut. 13:12. And while we are languishing, we have a danger (and the enemy is pushing us to this), begin to look for a “problem” in ourselves. And of course we are not perfect! We are “in the process of salvation”, so we still have something to escape from! But in order to move in order to spiritually develop, it is so important for us to be concentrated not on what our human nature is, but on what the Lord has already done and does in us, on the new person who is created in us in the image of Christ. And the same ap. Pavel writes that we need to learn how to not know anyone in the flesh! From now on, we do not know anyone in the flesh. 2 Cor. 5:16. Thank God for the fact that we have some experience of serving each other in the gifts of spiritual. When you pray (especially for a completely unfamiliar person), you often understand His calling, His purpose in the kingdom of God, you experience the love that the Lord has for Him and see how difficult it is for Him to accept! Because he (or she) looks at himself according to the flesh, perceives himself in the flesh and correlates himself not with the new one that God speaks of, but with what was born from the Pope and the mother of the earth. And in order to overcome it, in order to see yourself new it is so important to accept this instruction about grace! What we started this thought - AP. Paul “separates” himself from the fact that he performs grace in his life and ministry and says that the new and divine in himself, the fact that he is “AM” is the action and merit of exclusively grace. And this is difficult for us. We wish approval, we want us to be respected, to be considered us. These are normal “basic” desires of a person, but between them and pride a very thin line that we overcome without noticing when we are already “protecting”, defend our significance! And this can have very sad consequences for us! For example, is it good when our words perceive as the words of God Himself? Both good and very dangerous for us, if we do not have a revelation about grace. The advice of Achitofel, which he gave, at that time were considered as if anyone asked God for instructions. 2 Tsar. 16:23. And he saw Achitofel that his advice was not fulfilled, and saddled the donkey, and gathered, and went to his house, to his city, and made his will a will, and died, and died, and was buried in his father’s coffin. 2 Tsar. 17:23. And so that our ministry does not destroy us and wants to teach us the Lord that we are not we, but the grace that is with us. Does the Lord speak to the disciples about this: the listener listens to you, and the rejecting you is rejected by you; And the rejecting me is rejected by the sent me. Onion. 10:16. To experience this rejection and not to break through us and we need a revelation of grace. And here there is one very important reservation: although it is precisely grace that brings good fruits and it is it that makes in our lives everything that is pleasing to the Lord, however, if we are inactive, then she does not “work”! Grace works only in Tandem with us. She will not act “instead of us” or “for us”. We need to see this as a holistic picture, see how we act, trying to serve God, making mistakes, having “curves” motives, and at the same time God's grace acts, bringing good fruits for God. But if we stop, focusing on our mistakes, then its action stops. That is why the enemy is trying to convince us that we better do nothing in order not to make another mistakes. But if we see this action of grace, produced not by us, but at the same time with us, then we will continue and the further, the less we will make mistakes, because we will learn from her! The longer I live, the longer I try to serve the Lord, the more I am convinced that the problems come to the life of people not because of the mistakes they made, but because
