ENCOURAGE THEM

“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

Romans 10:15 KJV

I think we don’t realize that pastors need encouragement just like we do or we sometimes forget it.  We not only need to pray for our pastors, we also need to encourage them.  Pastors have feelings just like we do.  When is the last time you told your pastor how much you appreciate the sacrifices made for you?

Pastors, please stay on the battlefield for Jesus. Don’t give up!  Never forget that Jesus understands how you feel because He was ridiculed, cursed, spat on, beaten beyond recognition and left alone to die on a cross of horror and torture for your sins and for my sins

When you are discouraged, pastors, and feel all alone, tell Jesus. He will pick you up in His loving compassionate arms and carry you through the dark valleys and will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness.  O how Jesus loves you, pastors, and appreciates your service to Him.
