Prodigal: \u00a0I can’t wait to fix up my boat and have all my friends on it. \u00a0I am already planning the parties.<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0You don’t start puttin’ the kettle on to boil ’til you catch the hare.<\/p>\n

Prodigal: \u00a0Maybe I should just focus on the fixin.<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0I agree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no such thing as a self-made spiritual leader. \u00a0A true leader influences others spiritually only because the Spirit works in and through him to a greater degree than in those he leads.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can lead others only as far along the road as we ourselves have traveled. \u00a0Merely pointing the way is not enough. \u00a0If we are not walking, then no one can be following, and we are not leading anyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember all the trials, the hurts, the suffering. \u00a0It was so that you can lead because you already started that path before others. \u00a0Praise God for his direction in our lives!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Acts 22:15<\/p>\n

For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.<\/p>\n
