Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:1-2).
As leaders, we have all been given the privilege of spreading the love of Jesus Christ and His salvation message throughout the world. If you’re like me, you feel inadequate to perform this task.
Guess what? We are!
But remember! We don’t work alone!
Jesus Christ walks with us in all we do. Ask Him to go before you and push aside all distractions. Ask Him to help you focus and clearly mark the path He has chosen for you. Sit at the feet of the gifted, well-seasoned members of LWML and learn from them as you walk in His love.
May we all clearly focus on Jesus Christ and His will for our lives. May we have the wisdom and strength needed to put priorities in order. And may His hand be upon us as we continue to spread His Word and message of love and mercy throughout the world.
