On Leadership

It's not easy being a leader. In my devotional today on Leadership, it asks the question "Why is Leadership so hard?". It's not just hard but so so hard. I can attest to this. Many times along the way you question a lot of things, balancing each and every move. Making sure that you are on the right track, just and compassionate at the same time. Do everything with love that's what I always remember every time I decide on things. But it's never easy. My devotional encapsulates leadership so well :

"Because real leadership is hard, requires selfless service, and because the buck stops here. Servant leadership, exemplified by Christ, is uncomfortable, humbling, self-denying, painful, and counter-intuitive; nonetheless, following His example is the only kind of leadership that brings eternal results, genuine happiness, and true self-fulfillment. "

So in times of fear, doubt and even sorrows, it says that I need to keep my eyes on Him who teaches all things. Draw from His strength and wisdom. Because only by doing that can I achieve success in the things that I do.

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

- John 16:33

So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.

- John 16:22

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

- 2 Corinthians 4:17
