Holy Spirit... lead us!

We have to, need to... trust the Holy Spirit to guide, shape, teach, transform our hearts and lives. My prayer is also that we would each come to the table of leadership, empty of our own initiatives, ideas, ways, methods, nuances - and come ready to serve people.

Yes, we each come with experiences and a certain depth and maturity in Jesus. But let's bring all of Jesus, as much as we know how to - and less of us. May our professions, backgrounds and experiences be used for His glory as we come to the classroom of training.

I pray we come with brokenness, weakness, humility and dependency on Jesus!

God will use us, all of us. Past hurts, experiences, victories, successes in His hands, will live through each of us. May we be gracious, loving, caring, patient with each other. May we grow to love and appreciate each other for who God made us to be and become... and not for our talents, gifts, training, experiences.

love each of you...more for who you are, not for your gifts, talents and treasures.
