I'm A Christian Minister and I Need Grace

I’m a Christian minister, a pastor of a church.  As I’ve read the Bible, it has not escaped my attention that

Jesus directed his harshest criticism at religious leaders—the guys who should have known better.  This reminds me that Jesus is watching and He sees everything, including the moments when:

I say one thing and do something else;

I am proud and arrogant;

My thoughts are selfish, unkind and improper;

My words do not glorify Him;

I could help, but I don’t;

I fall short of representing Him honorably;

Etc….

And, so, I am eternally grateful for the love and grace of Jesus. I humbly stand in need of that love and grace.
