"I say again that shepherding is the all-inclusive care that includes two things: the side of cherishing and the side of nourishing. Cherishing is in His humanity; nourishing is in His divinity. Cherishing is just to warm up someone, to make them happy, to make them joyful...By then they would be ready for any message you want to give them. Don't despise cherishing. I feel, actually, in the Lord's move we are rather short of shepherding. This is why in many places the feeling is cold, the atmosphere is icy, the relationship is distant in many churches. It is not warm, it is not ardent, it is not hot, it is not burning. Dear saints, don't try to pray and then the Spirit comes down and we will all be hot. Start to care and start to warm up. I don't mean this in a natural way. We have to do this in the humanity of Christ, which is altogether in resurrection and not in the natural man. Nevertheless, Christ in resurrection is not cold." Minoru (1998, Atlanta Conf.)
