There are people who want to hear the Gospel of Christ and have open hearts to Christ. Sometimes you will be one to plant the seed, but maybe you won't see the fruit until years later or even until Heaven. Some People will water the seed that another planted. Then there are some that will see the person saved. Later as the Christian grows in their walk with the Lord, and they let the Spirit have control, not only can you see them plant the seed of the Gospel, but they will also have the Fruit of the Spirit(Galatians 5:22-23: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering-patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness- not weakness, and temporace).
We must learn to look for where God is working and join Him. We get so focused on the work of the ministry that we really miss the point... Don't be distracted (Easy for me to do)with the physical and focused on self or so on what others want that we totally miss what God is doing. Focus on Christ. The Christian life is not about working, it's about Christ and our relationship with Him. He does love us and He loves the lost and the saved. We make our plains and expect God to bless it when we never went to Him in the first place. While we want our way to make numbers and trying to get people to like us.... but Christ is at work and has put us or moved us to where He is at work reaching the lost and encouraging the saved that just need love and encouragement.
