PASTORS CAN BE HURT, TOO! And if they're not showing it, it is because they are trying to be strong FOR YOU.
THANK GOD PASTORS DO NOT FOCUS ON THEIR HURTS! They focus on the Lord, His Vision and the Ministry instead.

Love your pastor.
They have nothing in their hearts but love for the Lord and you.
God bless you.
In behalf of all pastors who are silently suffering,
HEBREWS 13:17
Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
