Pastors love people
Pastors feed and nourish the sheep
Pastors lay down their lives for the sheep
Pastors often times give out with no immediate return
Pastors see beauty instead of ashes
Pastors call out who people are and created to be
Pastors create a culture of honor
Pastors see through the exterior and into the heart
Pastors feel and sympathize with those who suffer
Pastors are people, ordinary poeple
who by the grace of God have an amazing calling to build the body
Pastors labor and pour into the harvest
Pastors welcome the wounded and broken
Pastors protect the sheep from wolves
Pastors know when to say yes and when to say no
Pastors are human, not superhuman
Pastors make mistakes, and willingly admit them
Pastors are vulnerable and transparent
Pastors lead by example
Pastors serve and consider themselves second to the flock
Pastors sing over the people the song of Joy
Pastors carry a sense of humor and can laugh at themselves
Pastors are not perfect
Pastors need encouragement from the body
Pastors are dearly loved in the Lords eyes.
Have you told your pastor how much you appreciate him or her today? If you do not
have a pastor, then ask for one...or become one. There are many people without a shepherd. Thank you Jesus for pastors, and those with a pastors heart.
