Not Necessary
It’s not necessary to tell a starving man he is hungry. It’s not necessary to tell a dehydrated man he is thirsty. So why must we tell people of their faults, mistakes, issues, and sins?
People know when they are doing wrong and the wrong they have done in their life. We all know the mistakes we have made, the sins in our life and the issues we face everyday. Having people throw that in our face is not going to help. Judging and condemning is not going to help. On the other hand, offering encouragement, hope, forgiveness, a shoulder to lean on can make a difference. Understanding where someone is, is not condoning what they are doing or agreeing with what they are doing. Offer people a peace of mind not a piece of your mind. We all have those areas that we need help in. Be an encourager today. Don’t tell them all the wrong stuff in their life, give them hope and build on the right stuff. Make a positive difference today!

Test of Leaders
Leadership is easy when life is easy. It’s really not even necessary, but when life does show up; that’s when the true leaders will be needed & revealed.
This is true for both leaders of many people and those that just lead a few people. You may only lead yourself, but it still holds true. If you desire to be a leader of many, you first have to be able to lead yourself. Self-leadership can be the most difficult of all leadership positions. To get back to our foundation statement though; your leadership level is revealed during the tough times in life. When situations are critical and crucial; that is when you will see just how good a leader you are. I heard someone say the other day that they would not want to be president of the United States right now because of all the problems we have. This would be the most awesome time to be the leader of our country. It’s those that can step up in the tough times that we remember. So if you are going through some really tough times, this is your finest hour. Step up to the challenge today!
