When the road is pitch dark with no street lights and raining, it’s beneficial to have another car in front of you. You just need to follow.
Thankful for those who have gone before us. They shed the light in dark places. Their light puts us at ease. Their presence gives us hope. We can do this. Even when it’s dark, we’ll make it through.

But it’s easy to get caught up responding to all the grumbling people. Because that is the most urgent need at the moment, and they will demand your response. Their expectations have not been met. Hold your responses. Just listen, and cry out to God.
When God opens your eyes, you will see possibilities that you may not have noticed before. The solution may be quite simple as a kind word of understanding, or it may be as complex as developing your next strategic move. Either way, the answer is right there. Ask God to open your eyes of leadership. -
The unsure, suspecting, careful, calculated look can be quite intimidating. It really penetrates a person’s spirit and alters the tone of the entire conversation. As a result, the encounter may not be the most pleasant one for both parties.
But at the beginning if you counter that look of suspicion with a warm smile, everything changes. A genuine smile from the heart also penetrates the spirit and puts one at ease. It puts a positive twist to the entire conversation.
So go ahead and begin with a smile.

When the area is a mess, people are prone to dump trash and make it more messy. There is something unique to messiness. It just invites more of its own kind.
Neatness will do the same. An area that’s kept clean will invite more cleanliness. The urge to create a mess is deterred by the neatness.
Yet there will be those who continue to create a mess. They are the ones who are not deterred by the neatness. Their inner slant toward messiness or irresponsibility overpowers other deterrents. Then messiness will rule.

Offenses offend. That’s what they are meant to do. And those offenses stick to the person like skin on bones.
Imagined offenses also offend. Misunderstanding and misinformation will cause these imagined offenses. But the effect is the same as actual offenses.

No, you don’t need to check with me. Just get it done. You select, make the choice, decide, or choose what’s best.
Later, we can discuss and assess the situation. Since I trust your judgement, there is no risk involved. I feel secure in giving you the freedom.

The person holding the position may not deserve honor. But give it anyway. Their behavior and attitudes may not be appropriate for your work environment, but honor them anyway.
Give honor to the position they hold. Give it for the sake of a peaceful work environment. Give honor hoping for a change even when it seems impossible.

Examine the measure carefully. Is it tainted with jealousy? Is there a texture of callousness? Can that person stand up to the same measure?
Maybe there is a lot of truth that you don’t measure up. So what to do? Get better? I’m sure there’s room for improvement. Go ahead and step up to the challenge.
Now what about God’s measure? It’s quite steep. In fact none of us can measure up. We’re all doomed. But there’s a catch. His measure is tainted with grace. It’s true that you don’t measure up. But it’s equally true that is rigged with grace for us.

Do you need help? Find people who need something and help them. If it is in your power to help, do it. If you’re not sure, find a way to help. Stretch yourself to help others.
If the help they need is out of your capability, find another person who can help. Refer them to the other person and make sure to follow up. Follow up until they get what they need.
During the process, you may think that this is really none of your business. But it is. As part of the human race, you have a moral obligation to help others.
As you continue to help people, you will leave a trail of kindness. Then when you are in need, you will benefit from a trail of kindness that someone else has left.

Over care may become smothering for some people. It results in emotional suffocation and the result may be the end of the relationship.
Since those in the caring professions are often driven by compassion, It’s not easy to find the balance. So over care may be inevitable. But strive for balance anyway.
Proper balance will be healthy for those receiving care. It will result in better development and empowering. The people will be more equipped to care for themselves and others.
