I am thinking...

It's not easy to be a pastor and it's even more difficult to be a good pastor.
This morning, my dad got a phone call from a divorced couple. Their child is charged with murder and is currently at the court. The reporters went to their house to cover the news and somehow suggested them to find a Christian church to seek for help. Someone just happened to give them our home number. They called and my dad went to see them this morning.

This is just the brief story of what happened before I left my house this morning. They are completely strangers and my dad always offer helps to those who are in need. Being a pastor's daughter, I know people came to my dad for various problems, big and small problems. I am very proud of my dad for being so loving, kind, and compassionate to others, especially to strangers. But the most important is to bring people to know Jesus.

The question I've been thinking....
Would I do the same thing like my dad?
Am I willing to love people when they are in need?
Am I willing to help people when they are in trouble?

I know without God's love and grace, we are not able to give. God set good examples for all of us and my dad set good examples for me. I am still learning to have a servant's heart.

"Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away." (1 Peter 5:2-4)
