There are well-poisoners who discourage others, stomp on their creativity, and tell them what they can't do. And there are life-enhancers. This last category contains people who reach out to enrich the lives of others, who lift them up and inspire them. Each us needs to do everything in our power to become a life-enhancer to nurture people so that they are motivated to grow and reach their potential. It is a process that takes time.
Tough times call for heroic action by great souls.
These are days in which pastors are to renew their sense of self-worth and to revive their passion for ministry. I believe that pastors are indispensable for society and for the Church. I appreciate what every pastor does for the Kingdom. I also want to challenge pastors to realize that they are part of society's best spiritual hope for the remainder of this decade and beyond. I believe every pastor can bloom in the holy ground where God has planted him.
