God Everywhere

My late wife Mirjam and I were talking to another minister, who was discouraged. It is a large problem in ministry (for example, more than two-thirds of pastors may be burnt out at any given time: see some statistics at Into Thy Word). I said to Mirjam afterwards: "He's cynical about ministry." She said: “Which you only are if you don’t see God everywhere.” That last line is the secret to avoiding disappointment, and applies above all to ministry.
