Let My Joy Be Complete

Who gets the credit?

It is really easy to care about who gets the credit and to wanting it to be yours.

My friend was helping me build a dining room table at our house. I tried to build a table last year and it went horribly. I am terrible at it, but he is really gifted at it. So I allowed him to use his skills to do something I can’t do but that would benefit me in the end.

John the Baptist’s disciples are worried because Jesus’ is baptizing people and more and more are following Jesus’ rather than John.

But John responds by saying he can’t receiving anything unless it is granted to him by God. But we don’t always think this way, we often think about our own ability to get something, about our own strengths.
