Why is it when you tell people you're in the ministy they say..."oh bless your heart I know you have to grow some pretty thick skin to do what you do"?
Doesn't this work agaist everything we are trying to do? I mean, yes I have gotten my feelings hurt PLENTY of times, but that will happen anywhere. If I had thick skin wouldn't that mean that I am defeating the purpose of ministry and ministering? I hope and pray that I never get so thickheaded or skinned that I loose my compassion for those that are hurting and in need. I hope, in fact, that my skin is as thin as it can be so that I can relate, understand, and remain open to the things GOD has in store for me.
