I read the following earlier today and it’s such a great reminder that the pastor’s wife is a vital part of a church ministry. She works behind the scenes as an encourager of not only the members but also the pastor. She bears many burdens along with the pastor. When the pastor grieves over struggles of church folks, the pastor’s wife is burdened right along side him. Never forget about your pastor’s wife and the role she serves in the church.
(Now for what I read earlier today. 🤪)
“To the pastor’s wife of a “small” church: your ministry matters. ❤️
Every person is a soul. Every person is created in the image of God. Whether that’s 10 people or 1,000 people, each one matters the same to Him.
God is not impressed by numbers the way people are. He is not a God of favoritism. In fact, when David numbered the people in pride and self-reliance, the Lord was displeased (2 Samuel 24). Ministry was never meant to be about building our platform—it’s about faithfully loving and serving the people God places in front of us.
I thought about this yesterday when I saw the bags lined up on the counter at church for an event. A teen looked at them and said, “That’s it? Only that many people are coming?”
I smiled and said, “Each one of those bags represents a person. And each person matters more than we can imagine.”
What a needed perspective for ministry.
God has not necessarily called us to have a big ministry, but He has called us to be faithful in the ministry He has given us. The crowds may vary, but faithfulness should not.
Mama, pastor’s wife, ministry leader—do not despise small things in the world's eyes. Jesus often stopped for the one person in front of Him. A widow. A child. A blind beggar. A woman at a well. Heaven rejoices over one soul.
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. —1 Corinthians 4:2
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. —Galatians 6:9
Faithfulness matters to God more than popularity ever will. ❤️
