Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4 ESV)
The joy of leading, and of helping others is seeing the change that goes on. The problem a lot of times is the fact that man looks at the outward appearance, and not at the heart. I just wish that somehow God would allow us to look at how a persons thoughts are, and where the heart is. It is so awesome seeing change, but we often dont wait long enough, we are impatient people.
God has been teaching me patience, and how He does things in His own timing so i do not have to worry about it. I just need to do what I am called to do, at the time I am told to do it. God will work out the details, and honestly it wont happen in my timing, but God is God. His timing is perfect. For me the hard part is my pride, I hate being told no, or that I do not know things. But like James says faith produces steadfastness! If i continue in my faih, i will become more and more Christ like, not lacking anything... Not to serve my ego, but to honestly, humbly serve my God.
