Be sensitive to their feelings and try to understand their concerns. They will be more open-minded and offer less resistance if you are gentle and show that you are sincerely interested in their opinion. Back Perhaps you are interested in Fourth World missions, but for various reasons, find yourself being held back. It is important to realize that unless you actively pursue the opportunity to serve the Lord, you will always find reasons to postpone it.

Rest assured, a counseling degree is not as important as a willing heart.
