Reading Between The Lines

As you are more exposed to different situations and experience life as it is, you understand that things aren't always as it seems. That can be at school, place of work, home, and possibly even where you worship God. Seeing it firsthand is very interesting. Interesting in that it reveals so much about people, motives, desires, etc... And if you can cover it with spiritual discernment, you get to really see what's being said, by whom, for what purpose, etc...

Just learned that as soon as encouragement comes, discouragement follows right after it - and possibly even from the same places. The experience is great because its a tool to keep us focused on staying humble before God and man and trust in God every step of the way.

One thing I'm starting to see is that you keep moving forward fulfilling the call of God on your life. You're never going to make everyone happy and to keep your motives and intentions pure to glorify God alone and help others reach their God-ordained potential.

Enjoy The Ride,

Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power.
