Leaders are People...

I recently read a quote by the actor, Tom Selleck... 

"Few of us are as good as we think we are; and none of us are as good as we can be."

"So, instead of looking at our frail humanity and complaining about our deficiencies, let’s joyfully accept our humanity with all its potential and ask God to help us make the most of it. David asked the Lord, “What are mere mortals that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” (Ps. 8:4). 

What are mere mortals? We are the precious objects of God’s love! If the Lord has called you to be a leader, it’s because He knows you better than you know yourself, because He loves you, and because He planned it all before time began. Your genetic structure was designed by God so you could do the work He has called you to do (Psalm 139:13–16). 

Leaders are people—God’s people—God’s chosen people—chosen to do His will and His work, and to help others to do His work. His promise is, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Heb. 13:5)." 
- Warren W. Wiersbe, On Being a Leader for God,

Ride the wave of God's incredible loving call and ...  "Be as good as you can be" for the all surpassing Glory of God!
