Entirely

Well, it's been a little while since I've made my last post. Actually, it has been about three months. But I've been thinking about this lately. What makes great leaders great leaders? Is it the vast amount of knowledge collected over the years stored in their massive brains? Is it because of the way they present themselves or how much money they make? Or is it simply because they were willing to make the self-sacrifice on a daily basis, constantly giving up the simple pleasures life has to offer in order to accomplish something meaningful? The more that I look at other leaders and pastors, people of integrity, the more I see that these people didn't get to where they are today by doing what they wanted all the time. They had the discipline to know what needed to be done and, guess what, they actually did it. Many of us, myself included, continue to pray that God would use us to do all these amazing things for the Kingdom, but we're willing to settle for "less than our best," just so we can say we tried. But Jesus didn't ask for only half of everything that we are and have. He wants the whole thing. He wants our very best. How can I expect God's best for me if I'm not willing to do the same for Him? Just another one of my many thoughts.

New Post Coming Soon

Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about this. Just haven't had much time at the computer lately.
