As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (1 Peter 4:10) There is no ministry apart from service. No one can have an impact on ministry who is not willing to serve or be a servant. There is always a price tag attached to service. It might be health, or convenience, aggravation or humility. Whatever the cost, it is what adorns the neck of those who minister. Ministry in the church is like being a parent making sacrifices for your children. Parents usually think their children are never going to realize what has been sacrificed in service to them, but they eventually do. What was sacrificed for them comes back as the fruit of a close & intimate relationship with them. Its the same way in ministry. The more we give of ourselves in ministry to others, the more we will get back in return. The bottom line is: there is no way to advance in ministry without giving of ourselves!
