  Point three – When you have God’s heart, you can achieve amazing things. Starting in my mid-twenties, I begin to serve in leadership capacities within my local church. Over time I was promoted to leadership positions within our church body on the district level. The last twenty-four year of employment in secular jobs, I held management / leadership positions. All of these doors were open to me by God in God’s timing. Knowing this was God’s call upon my life, I sought Him continually for guidance and direction. I saw myself as serving God and not working for man or the benefits the positions offered. Colossians 3:23 says, and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men. This serve as my foundation scripture in my endeavor to please my God, and to make thing better than the way I found them. God blessed and His hand could be seen on me and in the work that I did.

  God puts leaders in place for a reason. God always has a reason and a plan for every believer and especially for leaders in the Kingdom. I have to first see myself as a leader, which I do. I then have to search to find out what God wants of me as a leader. I must know His plans for me and not my own. It is only when I am in the right place and doing the correct things for God that I can be a truly effective servant leader. I cannot always see the reason that I have been placed in a specific leadership role, but God knows why. It is my responsibility to figure out what that purpose is and to then fulfill it to the best of my ability. This can be challenging to accept at times, but it is still true regardless.

  I teach at a Christian school. I am retired from public school. In both circumstances I try to apply point number 3 by inspiring students, pointing them to God, and helping them become all God wants them to be.

  Lesson #3 Keeping God first and obeying his commands. In the homeless ministry at my church, we listen and reflect with a plan to reach these individuals with God’s direction. As a group we open up to reach other to learn how each team did in the community. This model helps the leader make adjustments for the next time.

  I would say lesson three was the most challenging. It was challenging when knowing the direction God was leading me to go on what to do did not align with the known norms for addressing certain issues. My leaders in the church were older than me and felt they knew better what I should do than I did. I respected their wisdom; their recommendation and I respected them. But I had to follow God leading. In doing so, I had the peace of God in what I did. It was more challenging in the secular realm. Secular leadership depend heavily on carnal thinking and stats. To inject God into the conversation regarding decisions to be made was not accepted. Still, as God led me and gave me peace as I worked within the bounds of the business.

  For me, fully believing that I have God’s heart is easy but realizing that I can achieve great things is hard. I know that I have a great calling upon my life and live my life accordingly. I also know that I have a heart that is attune to God and His desires. However, despite that fact, I still struggle to see how a little nobody like me can accomplish anything truly great that has a real impact on the world for Christ. I struggle to see myself as able to do this, even with the Lord’s help. I just don’t see myself the way that God does. I still underestimate myself and my God abilities and talents. I know that I am selling myself short by thinking this way, but I do none-the-less. Whether it is a fear of failure or a simple misconception I don’t really know. All I know is that I find it difficult to truly see myself doing great things. So, I am working on adjusting how I see myself, so that it better aligns with the truth as set forth in God’s Word.

  Number 2 can be challenging when I make to-do-lists then realize my list didn’t match God’s to-do-list. Same fir the big picture when I am trying to get my ducks in a row and realize I need to focus on God’s ducks! I pray my vision and God’s vision are onr in the same.

  Lesson #1 God puts leaders in place for a reason. Sometimes, I don’t understand. I must turn it over that God knows better. TRUST
