Leadership is ONLY for leaders!

You know how often that is said or implied? "You're just a student, you can't lead!" or "Kids are so immature that if we gave them ANY bit of power, the whole GROUP would be gone!!!" And so on and so forth. Well, I'm here to tell you (and them) that that is NOT true!!! Don't believe me? Read on...

God put us ALL in positions of leadership from your pastor, to your sunday school teacher, your boss, to your teacher, your mom and dad, your younger brother and/or sister, to YOU!!! There's no laws saying when you are and aren't not a leader...God made us to be born leaders! To whom, you ask? To everyone God has placed around you in your life!!! Those people, no matter how much younger or older then you they are, were put in your life so you could be an example and leader to them. Now that doesn't give you any excuses not to follow them, because they were put in your life to be leaders to you as well. Not making sense? I didn't think so. I got an email from a friend this morning talking about this that said it better than anyone ever has I think. Here it is:

"A lot of people in today's world are confused about the issue of
leadership. Most people think that you have to be the best, the
smartest, the best looking, older than those you lead, and the list
goes on. But I've found that a good leader is not necessarily the
best in his field, nor the smartest, nor the best looking. A good
leader is someone who ecourages others to persevere in bettering
themselves. Moreover he himself must set the example in his words and
conduct. Anyone can be a boss, but it takes boldness to do what's
right, perseverance in the face of trials, and an understaning of
other people to be a leader. A good leader must also be willing to
follow. He must be open to learn and grow not only from those who are
in authority over him, but also those over whom he has authority. The
Bible clearly defines a good leader in 1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no one
despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in
conduct, in love, in spirit, in fatih, in purity." Be the example
that Christ purposed you to be, regardless the circumstance."

Just a bit of wisdom for you to ponder, pass on, or ignore.
(Please don't do the latter!)"

Now do you get it? I thought you would! ;)

Now, I'm off to be a leader to my mom (picking up my breakfast stuff so she will see and pick up hers), my sister (clean my room so my sis might get some ideas and make mom happy), and to you (by getting off the computer when my mom tells me to!(which should happen in about 2.5 minutes, hahaha!!!)).

May God bless you in your life, and may you reach new heights as you find your leadershipness hidden in your life by our Ultimate Leader!!! :) Have a great day!!!
