And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Everything comes from God, who brought us back into right relationship with him through Jesus Christ, and then gave us the job of helping other people find that same connection.
God didn't just fix your relationship with him, he made you part of the team that helps others get right with him too.
