I was profoundly helped this evening by a quote from R.C. Sproul. It's his answer to the question "What is your greatest weakness as a pastor?" Both encouraging and convicting...
"My biggest weakness is that I am profoundly shy. I am not quick to make
friends, nor even to interact with the friends I have been blessed with.
Though I am confident in the depth of the love I have for the sheep
under my care, I likewise understand why that love may not seem so
evident to the sheep. My shyness is, I suspect, a corollary to a deeper
problem, that I want to be liked. My reputation matters far more to me
than it should."
