Superb, Chloe. Well-penned. 

When I first started ministry it wasn't about how many people on average were ministered to nor was it about how big my platform was. And although it's only natural for us to desire growth, I think sometimes we confuse "growth" with creating a bigger platform rather than spiritual growth in the Lord. Instead of being so heavily concerned about the number of people behind us (or with us) we should be concerned about the impact we have on the few surrounding us.
