Scripture: And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. (Philippians 1:6, 7 ESV)

Observation: Human interactions impact eternity.  People with whom you share the gospel have an eternal result (good or bad) based on their acceptance or rejection of Christ.

Application: God leads us down paths that may seem like they are dead ends, failures, etc.  Our own perception is not important.  He is at work and He alone will bring it to completion.  He is not dependant on us, we are dependant on Him.

Prayer: Daddy, prepare our hearts to obey and not judge ourselves by outcomes, but by obedience to You.  Amen.
