Shy encourager believes in a pastor.
Someone : young, shy, smart, unassumming, wrote to encourage me with this note: [ unedited ]
Being a pastor, having listen to the pains of others, it does affect you. In a way it's good.
Pastor vs. psychiatrist:
1. You pay a psychiatrist to listen to your heart, you don't have to pay your pastor. He does it free of charge.
2. A pastor is genuinely interested in your pains. He cries with you. A psychiatrist does it only for the money. After your session, he smiles at the cheque you give him.
3. A psychiatrist "psyches" you either into believing beyond your pain or by killing your pain with drugs. Both ways are superficial, just like cutting the "lalang" on your lawn. A pastor holds your hand, prays with you, seeks the Lord for you and that heals you iniside out. It's like uprooting the "lalang"; uprooting every cause of pain by the Father's love, not just cutting it.
4. The solutions by the psychiatrist is influenced by worldly knowledge. The solution by the pastor is through heavenly guidance.
5. Remember that your pastor loves you. The psychiatrist doesn't.
So, know that you're blessed. Helping others is a wonderful thing to be doing. You're not like a psychiatrist..it's too fake. ....You"re a pastor and that's good. It's good to cry for others too. Not everyone gets that chance.
It feels great to know of someone who understands the job of a pastor and believe in a pastor.

I write: ' I love pastoring because there are people/ or someone who believes in a pastor".

As God raising up more Christian youth to go into the field of psychology, I believe that God is raising a group of people in the field not just interested in the cheuque but truly want to help people along their life with Christ's love, particularly those nonchristians who are unlikely to go to a pastor.
I don't deny that at the current stage, psychologist and psychiatrist are very profit minded. My church in NZ here is having a professional counsellor. What really surprice me is that working under the church, her service is to be paid by those who seek service. Only that she is using Biblical principle in her counselling.
Hopefully in time to come, as psychologists offer their professional services, they are also reaching out to others with Christ's love.Going into people's heart where they're closed to pastor.
