Esteeming the Gift of a Pastor by Judy Wilder

Suppose for a moment that youve spent a great deal of time and trouble looking for the perfect gift to buy for a loved one. You hand the exquisitely wrapped package to the person you love - only to watch him carelessly toss your gift aside, where it lies unopened for months and even years. How would that make you feel? Well, Jesus has a very personal gift that He has hand-picked just for you. That gift is your pastor, given in love to help you mature in Christ. Now its up to you to honor the Giver by accepting that gift.
