What I mean by a pastor is a person who can bear the whole sorrow, care, misery, and sin of another on his own soul, and go to God about it, and bring from God what will meet it, before he goes to the other....
“Lovest thou Me?...Feed My sheep-feed My lambs." I know nothing like it on earth: the care of a true-hearted pastor-one who can bear the whole burden of grief and care of any soul and deal with God about it. I believe it is the happiest and most blessed relationship that can subsist in this world. J.N. Darby
