No shame.

I wouldn't want Jesus to be ashamed of me when he comes in all his glory. Please help me not to be ashamed of him or his words until he returns.

-

For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory.

Luke 9:26

I soil, God shines.

A reminder that, as I prepare my talk, all I am responsible for is the environment under which faith and hope can flourish.
Prayers that God would draw people unto Himself is, then, a must.
-

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

1 Corinthians 3:7
