To my friends who are leaders.... I know what it feels like to live a double life.... Saying all the right things yet thinking and doing the opposite.... I understand the torment, guilt and shame for feeling like a failure when everyone thinks your such a Godly person. I know what its like to say im gonna stop doing this or that (Sin) and find yourself continually doing what you hate.... I know what its like to just want to throw in the towell and just sit in the pews and not attmept anything for Christ because you feel like a hypocrite, I know what its like to feel like your position in ministry is what gives you a sense of value and without the title you would feel insignificant or like a failure.... I know what it feels like because your to embarassed to tell anyone the truth about how you feel and what areas your missing the mark in..... I know what its like to realize that in all of the good things you do for others feel like your still a failure because one person or a group of people feel your not qualified to lead.... I know what its like to struggle with feeling called to something specifically and no one validate you.... I know and not only I know but so does God and actually so do some of your leaders....You see friend its not always about people reaching out to you its about you reaching out to God or people yourself.... maturity in Christ is not that your perfect but that your willing to be honest with yourself, God and others.... If People or others dont understand you ....God does and His opinion about you is what truly matters.... Were not a leader because of the positions or titles we have.... take away my positions and the titles because thats not what defines me.... the pulpit is not my platform .... the earth is my pulpit and The message of Jesus Christ is my Rock and my platform.... what defines me is being a child of God and knowing that nothing can seperate me from his Love.... He is my Father and he knows everything about me and you.... He has a plan and once we come to terms that he is Good when thiers nothing good in us and that he still wants to use us.... is when we can realize that our Father knows we fail but does not hold our failures against us... His plans are to give us a hope and a future....rise up and let us live in the light and expose ourselves... and dont trip on those who are quick to want to expose you highlight your shortcomings, failures and want to disqualify you.... because in reality its your acknowledgement of them that make us a prime cantidate for his Grace and Mercy!!!!! #riseup #ghettoproject
