That's wonderful, but please remember that a calling does not entitle you to a blessed thing. This concept of "deserving" material things because you're a minister is muey loco. To deserve means to "have a claim for."
I hear people throw the word "deserve" around a lot nowadays. "She didn't deserve that," or "He deserved better than that."
How many times in life do we really get what we have a claim for?
I think we claim things that God never meant for us to have sometimes. And when we don't get them we feel cheated.
Godliness with contentment is great gain.

So are you saying if someone feels they are called that automatically get an entitlement attitude?
