God has given each of us a place of leadership. Whether we spend our days at school, working, changing diapers, traveling, etc.; walking in a personal relationship with Christ comes with the opportunity, responsibility, and privilege of leading and guiding others to a higher, more secure place with Jesus. Whether its your sister, friend, daughter, co-worker, classmate, family member, someone in ministry, or involved at your church; someone, somewhere is looking to you for direction and answers. People need you. They need love, hope, security, direction, answers, consistency, commitment, and so much more; and God has chosen you to be His daughter so that He could give these things through you to His people.
Are you living a lifestyle that exemplifies who Jesus is? Are you able to offer peace, love, and direction to those around you? Bobbie Houston, the pastor of Hillsong Church in Australia, explained being a leader as a person who brings security to the people you are leading. However, we can not bring security if we are not secure in who we are or secure in what God has called us to do.
The world can not even begin to offer what we have. We have Jesus. They need Him. So lets strive EXTRA hard to take our integrity, our love for others, our humility, our service to the next level so that we can provide a secure, positive lifestyle for others to follow.
The world offers gossip, jealousy, bitterness, unforgiveness, competition with each other, pride, insecurity, etc. Lets rid our lives of these things so that we are SET APART and have something more attractive to offer to those desiring to follow us.
