To me, all ministry is God’s work.
Paradoxically, though, He has chosen to limit what He does to His partnership with us. In Jesus, God has inextricably yoked Himself to us, and it is my observation that He will not do much without us. As far as my own involvement in ministry is concerned, I see myself as, quite simply, a five-year-old little boy, who has a small plastic rake in his hands, and who’s just happy and content to be out in the front yard working—playfully and admiringly—alongside his Papa as his Papa gathers up the leaves.
