Beautifully said. Hard to do!

We are told to never loose our saltiness. But to not loose our sweetness, that's a new one for me, but it reminds me of never losing my 1st love, for it's Him that made me sweet to begin with. ❤️

Yes, life, ministry, will throw all kinds of things at you. As a pastor, you encounter challenges within the church that can easily leave you bitter. And unhealed bitterness can change you into something God never intended for you.

Love this. Great writing. And great message. It’s Jesus’s joy, after all, that caused Paul to butter his letters with such overwhelming love, FROM PRISON. it’s Jesus’s joy that he said he came to give us so that our joy would be complete. Don’t lose your sweetness. Love it.
