So today, I was having a conversation with someone, and I sat there, and I was listening, but nothing was really sinking in... (STUBBORN) !!!? Yea very! Anyways, the more I sat there, the more I questioned myself, could I be so stubborn, that I sometimes ignore other peoples feelings, and in a selfish way only pay attention to my own?
WOW not cool at all... I guess it takes a little more to make me realize the hurt I have caused someone else.... I thought I knew at first just how much.... I was wrong.
So the more I sat there and the more I listened to what this person was saying to me, the more I could see the hurt and the pain, and when they started talking about a particular situation I went through, and then kind of questioned how I would feel if the tables had been turned... That's when I really started to actually feel the same hurt too... not a good feeling!
It really stayed with me, the words that they said, and their look on their face when they said it, and the sincerity, and the hurt...
See the topic started off as healing, I say I am healed; but did I ever stop to actually think about the others who also need to heal..
being a leader is more then just a title, it's a lifestyle, it's an everyday thing...
It takes preparation and process to build a leader who has been following all of their lives..
leaders set examples, leaders have a strong passionate relationship with God, leaders are Christ like in every way, leaders are trust worthy, forgiving, Honest, leaders are the kind of people who when you get around them you can just feel and tell that the spirit of god dwells within them... leaders are strong, and so much more..
So I continued to think about this, and I started thinking about the people who have come in my life and really made a difference...
I can think of 4!! I started thinking what was it about those four people, that i just loved, and had a peace every time they came around, it's like something about them i thrived off of. Then it hit me those people have a love for God, a strong love for God a strong relationship with God... And I love that..
in order to be an effective leader, people have to see that in you...when people see me I want them to see that God lives inside of me, I want my love for God to be so strong, that people feel peace when they are around me...
In order for that to happen. I have to rebuild my relationship with God, thrive of of his word, pray, and get to know him like a best friend...
So here is what I realized today
In order for anyone including myself to be a GREAT LEADER, then I have to be a STRONG FOLLOWER OF CHRIST!!!
