Lamblasted (The L Curve: Part 2)
14.01.08 16:53 Filed in: Leadership
If
you're reading this you are most likely interested in
growing as a leader. I am convinced that our most
difficult leadership challenges are not the outward
circumstances we are currently facing--it is the
inward battle of becoming who God has called each of
us to be.
2 Co. 3:18 [MSG]
All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces
shining with the brightness of his face. And so we
are transfigured much like the Messiah,
our lives gradually becoming brighter and more
beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like
him.
Notice the word gradually. Often, we as leaders
expect that we (THE leader) should automatically
change and transform into perfection. Not because God
has those expectations on us but rather we have
placed that on ourselves.
We are lamblasted with leadership "propaganda"--which is not necessarily a bad thing-- and suddenly expect that from the moment the new knowledge enters our ears it has been formed into our lives as well. The danger in this is the fact that realistically it hasn't been formed into our lives and will only do so gradually as we become like Jesus. Just want to lovingly remind us that as we are lamblasted we are going through a gradual process.
