Portrait of a Pastor

The Portrait of a Pastor

Resolute forehead that may soften but doesn’t crack.
A set chin that handles hard issues and sin of the flock.
Kind eyes that see past the facade and into the heart.
Lips that speak gracious words and that speak God’s words for God and not glory.
Arms that wrap around the smelliest and most rebellious little child.
Hands that give to the poor, comfort the sick, and that reach out unprejudiced to shake any person’s hand.
Feet that do not retreat; feet that are first to move forward to aid; feet that shun evil.


This is a Pastor and his heart is for God first and foremost.
