They could have kept their families close,
A quiet life, just theirs to boast.
But a higher call pulled them away,
To serve, to lead, to kneel, and pray.

They opened their hearts, homes, and hands,
To embrace others, to understand.
Even when their own felt far,
They stayed strong and became guides.

Critics raise, opinions sway,
But they stand firm; they choose to stay.
For every sacrifice, every tear,
They shepherd on with sincere love.

In the shadows, often unseen,
A pastor's heart beats pure and keen.
Not for glory, not for praise,
But for the souls they guide and raise.

Hebrews 11:11

"It was by ⓕⓐⓘⓣⓗ that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise."

The phrase, “them that are of a broken heart,” occurs often in the Bible. It refers to a condition when a burden “seems” to be on the heart, and when the heart “seems” to be crushed by sin or sorrow.

And God said in Isaiah 57:15b

"I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts."
