It doesn’t matter who we’re leading in the different seasons of our lives, there will always be opportunities for offense and bitterness to creep in.
Offense and Bitterness
Many times, leadership wears on people. It can become monotonous and labor-some, sometimes to the point where we want to give up.
That’s why it’s so important that we view leading as God’s gift to help us grow in love and humility. If we have the correct mindset about why we’re leading, then we will be able to lead long-term with a joyful heart and avoid offense toward God and the people we’re leading.
It’s also important that we remember that any situation or circumstance that arises can be resolved if we keep our eyes fixed on Him and pursue Him based on the truth of His word.
Today you might find yourself in one of the hardest situations of your life. It might feel like you’ll never be free from the offense or bitterness that has crept into your heart. You may be surrounded by some very challenging people that the Lord has called you to lead in this season.
