quoting from ben's blog:
Anyway, today i realised dat even with all the talent, good looks and niceness that one can ever have, dat is no condition or prerequisite for God to use one mightily :) More than just a realisation, it's become a personal revelation and conviction in my life :) We gotta constantly deal with the issue of pride and self-sufficiency in our lives.. It's dangerous to think dat we have arrived, dat we can make things happen.. No. Like wat Paul said, he planted the seed, Apollos watered, BUT it is God who gives the increase. Indeed without God, whatever we do, whatever we are is naught.

that's alot of truths in this one simply paragraph,
hits the target on the bull's eye with what i was thinking about the whole day
really thank God for this timely reminder
