I don't know what has rattled your cage, Victor, but I believe that it is an
attack from the enemy. From your posts and from things that I have heard, I
get the impression that you have done a good job in your part of Australia.
Always remember that YOU nor I can save anyone.

Rejoice in the
Lord in all things and appreciate the same seven boys who do turn up (for a
long time, it was 3 for me). [snip] Don't be discouraged we only see the back of the
tapestry, not the front.

In all of this there must be a distinction between faithful and fruitful.
Don't get me wrong - I am grateful for the small fruit, as I'm sure we all are. I see faithfullness everywhere I look (although the excuse for a program feature many provide lacks...)
But I want a big harvest.
I am not content with average, or justifiable.
I want abundant, large, much, lots, an overflow.
I believe this is the heart of God.
When it comes time to trim the vines - I want to be kept not culled.
Let's not look to justify what we do and the results or fruit we are seeing. Let's look for ways to extend, to reach more, to influence many.
Keep talkin'
Victor.
