To The Teacher,

 

 

There may come a time when you feel insignificant.

 

There may be times when you question your position.

 

It may become difficult to stand your ground.

 

You may feel over-burdened or under-challenged.

 

You may think that your ministry is inconsequential, but all these things are only doubts. 

 

God puts his hand on the oppressed and under-privileged and this makes you his tool. 

 

You sharpen the sword against ignorance, and this sword will give you strength.  Your position is a strategic one in God’s mysterious plan.  You must have the conviction of a faithful soldier on the battlefield.  You must believe that you are critically needed where you are. 

 

Believe- that the disadvantaged will remember you.  

 

Believe- that if you can create fond memories, you have given an invaluable gift that will last forever.
