Don't just cry over your 10 or 20 member church. Sometimes, God gives you your future first. The ones you call little carry in them every possibility you desire of the future. God would send you leaders but they may come as weak men and women first. Don't be so 'gift' conscious that you fail to realize that certain things are results of growth. Kingsley Opuwari Manuel
About This Quote

The line, “Don’t be so gift conscious that you fail to realize that certain things are results of growth,” is a great reminder to us that we should focus on our growth and not our gifts. Often times, we get wrapped up in our gifts and talents, but we miss out on the fact that God wants us to grow every day. Growth is one of the most important things in life. It's what makes you a better person.

Growth is what gets us from where we are now to where we want to be in the future. Without growth, we stay stuck in the same place and never continue to move forward in life.
