Exemplary leadership
Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away. In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for
"God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble."
If you have questions about how
to become a friend and follower of Jesus, please see the devotion entitled,
“Come to Jesus” @ http://bit.ly/JVhaLta
*Happy Birthday to my beloved husband on this day! May God ever and always continue to bless your life...I love you!
