The people we help, in many instances, will break our heart because they will not reciprocate the love and appreciation for what we have done for them. We give relentlessly and it seems that there is no return on our investment. I know the spiritual mind says that our reward is in heaven, and that is true, but the emotional side of us still has an expectation from them. Our business is transforming lives. We attempt (through the Holy Spirit) to bring life to death. It takes a toll on our body, mind, family, finances and reputation. There is no remedy to this problem, it's just a reality.
The reality is that many preachers feel alone, and insecure because many don't take the time seriously wonder what the preacher needs and how they struggle just like everyone else. When everyone expects you to have all the answers and to carry the whole load, it is inevitable to become stressed, frustrated and unhealthy. Who has the preacher's back?
