If you’re a Christian you probably have ministers whom you look up to. There are about a dozen or so preachers that I follow. I’ve never met any of these people, but they have profoundly ministered to me over the years. I have found encouragement, guidance, correction, and most of all love in these people. Most of these people are getting up in years now, a couple have gone even gone on to be with the Lord, but they left a legacy that continues to bless me. If I could personally tell them thanks I would, but all I can do is hold them up in my prayers. If you have people like that in your life, bless them while you can. They won’t be around forever and neither will you. So today I give thanks to these saints–these servants of God. I have truly been blessed to have their influence in my life. How can you bless the ministers in your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
