James 3:16-18


 
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
James 3:16-18


When we are insecure in our work, we begin to build our own domains that lock others out. Our fears that others will look better or perform better than us only serve to isolate and make our work more difficult. In these scenarios our ministry is lost, because those we are meant to care for are the ones who suffer. It is in pulling together that everyone wins, for our loads are shared and the needs of others are more readily met.
