"As leaders, there are so many things we must get better at: casting vision, building teams, solving problems, enforcing values, and building the next generation of leaders. But if we excel in those areas and still neglect to use our leadership octane to address God's clear mandate to serve the poor, what have we really gained?" ~ Hybel
I am always humbled when leaders express their humility. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound...

The Keys to one of the most profound expressions is written in one of My Personal favorite books of the Bible. It is the demonstration of The Fufillment of the Law written in Matthew 5:17. It does make mention of this so often~but so readily and easily dismissed...God truly ONLY cares about the one item you mentioned of up top billy...
...The Human Heart...and its condition of health,
love, and passion...which instills wisdom~or not
ie. written: " Jesus fufilled the law in the sense that it gave it meaning..Jesus explained that looking deep into the human heart offers the distinction of differences-the diffferences between external acknowledgement and obediences seen..."for show" ...OR... the bigger picture of the open window of a pure heart offering more, much more~Love. This supporting the facts that not even the smallest of letters written would offer wisdom and/or direction without the human heart billy, and its true conditioning ....
Like Bono...a Ministry and his church through his profound music on stage of writings of witness~what HE can offer with a clean and comfortable conscience....Great Post! Leadership comes in many forms and Gifts Given~of coutse...Rahab
