Good Things Ministers Have Taught Me

[Digging4Truth]

My wife & I were discussing some of the good "words" that we have blessed with over the years from various ministers.

I thought I would share a few here and then offer the opportunity for you to share any particularly uplifting or wise words you have received from the ministry over the years.

Here are a few to get started. I will add others later.

1. Be a pig or a pup. A pastor/prophet in my life would always say this. His basic idea was... be real... be what you are... don't try to be anything you're not. Don't put on airs. Don't him-haw around. Be what you are and do it with all you have to give.

2. Hold your treasures close. There were certain beliefs the Lord had spoken to me about in my life. I would share them with others and get ridiculed sometimes. (I wasn't very wise in my sharing sometimes) This same pastor/prophet told me to hold my treasures close. Don't just keep them out for the whole world to see all the time. When you find someone who will appreciate the treasure God has given you then share it and enjoy it. But be wise that you share what God has given you with people who will appreciate it's value. Other times... just hold it close to your heart and be thankful it is yours. What he told me here is basically "Don't cast your pearls before swine" but I think he worded it very carefully to convey the good spirit in which he wanted me to learn this in.
