MI DAILY DEVOTION
THE HEART OF A PASTOR
(Hebrews 13:20-21) 20- “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21- Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
A pastor should live in love, integrity and with dignity in his public life; it is also required of him to live a holy life and in righteousness in private. X-rated movies, x-rated magazines, x- rated - shows and any x-rated materials in the internet are something that he avoids. He has a heart for the young people, young at hearts and he yearns to love every individual. His yoke is the Lord's yoke. And his years are full of wisdom. A pastor must not waste his time in the service of the King. He must learn to trust God even in a zigzag road or in a rough road. He tried to be zealous in his relationship with God and man. And as a pastor, he is marching to Zion. In God's grace and by God's grace: Your pastor will serve you in spite of financial difficulties. He will love you and preach God's Word in spite of negative remarks of his people. He will be there for you in spite of your weakness, failure, unfaithfulness to God and in the church. He needs your prayer, your financial support, your understanding when things are not going well in your church. And most of all- he’s like you with feelings and emotion. He has spiritual downfall, failures, and he is hurting. He is a needy person and he is going through tough times like you do. He needs God's grace, God's mercy and he needs YOU! In (Hebrews 13:24) “Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.”
