Give it up!

I learned something powerful this week.

The art of letting go.

God has blessed me in many ways. He has shared with me His clear vision of the future of our ministry and He has placed people in our church that are motivated to see that vision come to life.

This fall we started up branches of the worship ministry in both the youth and kidz church ministry. My right hand man, Jason, has taken the lead in the youth ministries and there in lay my challenge.

I'll pose this question;

How easy is it for you to have a vision, cast a vision and then release it to someone else?

For me the answer is........ REALLY HARD!!

As leaders we can be guilty of holding on tight to our visions. Not let anyone else touch our vision, cause you might not do it right!

Can you see the flaw in that statement? Our vision. My vision.

Go back to the top and read the part about God blessing me. The key in that sentence is this; He SHARED with me HIS clear vision...

So I shared my 'exit strategy' to my right hand man, Jason today. I told him that he was doing a great job and he didn't need me around every minute. I'll still check in from time to time and help when I'm needed, but God has placed the same vision in his heart as He did in mine so...

Are you holding on to God vision for your life as if it were your own?

Three words "GIVE IT UP!"
