I have heard that statement more than once! The truth is they are right. I am a character. I am a leader. We should be more concerned with who a leader is, than what a leader does. However, what a leader does can be a game changer.
What is the character of the leader? A true leader should be reflective, my character should be holy, I should reflect the character of Christ. I should have a rhythm...a pattern of good habits that cause the people I lead to say, "I want what Emmy has." That joy that can only come from within...from the Holy Spirit that is within me. I want to reflect Christ. I have an incredible privilege to serve our Lord and influence others. It is a humbling privilege that I do not take lightly. It is critical that I, as a leader, hold my thoughts & actions captive. It is critical that I remain humble, as I represent the Bride of Christ. I influence those around me. I don't always have the luxury of being lazy. I must remain diligent in all I do, I must remain constant in Christ.
If I keep my focus on Christ, it keeps my standard high. As I cannot attain perfection, I can however, strive for excellence. As I am a recovering perfectionist, (somedays not so much...recovering that is...) I have to remind myself that I am not going to achieve perfection. I cannot attach those feelings to my personal worth. My worth is far more than what I do...or how I do it...it is who I am in Christ.
If God is for me...then who can be against me.
