When you’re in ministry, people don’t just watch what you say — they watch how you breathe, how you react, how you hurt, how you heal. They expect grace without exhaustion, patience without limits, faith without questions. Your mistakes feel louder, your humanity feels inconvenient. You’re held to a higher standard, yet often offered a smaller margin for being human. But ministry was never about perfection. It was about surrender. About showing up with a heart that still needs God, not one that has already figured Him out. If anything, those in ministry should be held to a higher dependence on grace — not a higher demand for flawlessness. The truth is, you carry the weight because you care. You love people. You love God. And even when the standard feels heavy, you keep choosing compassion over defense, humility over pride, love over offense. So if you’re weary from being held higher, remember this: Jesus didn’t call the qualified — He qualified the called. And He knows exactly how much pressure your calling carries.

Thank for the add! I have a question. When the Bible says think on "these" things n goes on to list things to think on, Philippians 4:8 King James Version 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. What are example of true things, honest things, just things etc etc to think about? Any studies that elaborate on the things we should be thinking about? I know off top of my head His word is true so that's one true thing to think on.
