This month has been designated as “Pastor Appreciation Month” in many places. I am grateful to God for the faithful pastors who have influenced me. The Lord has used them to shape my life.

I thank God for my pastor.
It is easy to take faithful pastors for granted, to forget what they have given and what God has given you through them.

Churches need pastors and pastors need encouragement.
