I attended a church where the pastor was always asking for money. When I first attended, I could see the vision that God had given the pastor for the church, and I believed that God wanted me to sow into the ministry. But as time progressed, every sermon was asking for more and more money. I began to worry about whether it had been good for me to give this pastor all my hard earned money. But the day came when God put it in my spirit that I was to do as He (GOD) instructed. Now, if the pastor did not do what God instructed with the money that I had sown, it would be the pastor that would stand in judgment for his disobedience. If I did not sow when God instructed me to sow, then I would stand in judgment for my disobedience. Even if it did not make natural sense to me, I was to obey God's instruction, not my own, and certainly not a beggin' pastor.
So in the same way, I will not judge Paula's decision to stay in the ministry, even while going through this difficult personal time. It will be Paula that will be judged by a just, soverign, and almighty God for her obedience to His instruction and for her stewardship over the seeds that He has entrusted to her care.
