I've noticed that, and my response is: Those pastors are content with realizing that they may never be recognized, but it won't stop them from doing God's work. If you ask anyone in ministry & they're honest, they'll say they want recognition, but it won't bother them if they don't receive it because true glory comes from God. The Lord gives the only rewards that matter. If I was in ministry, while I want to be appreciated for pouring into the lives of my congregation, my ultimate recognition comes from God, not man. Besides, the same people praising me would be the same ones to crucify me if I did something wrong.
