2 Corinthians 12:11 I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
It is not our position in our churches which we should be so concerned about but the way we act toward others.
Paul realised he had become known and people looked up to him; he played this down and turned the glory back to God.
He wanted to show people he was not asking anything of them but giving as often as he could. He wanted to show them Christ’s heart and spirit through his actions.
How do you fare?
