John 15:13 “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” We’ve all heard the verse and understand the sacrifice. It is the ultimate act of love and service for our fellow human. But Jesus calls us to love everyone, we are all brothers, friends, neighbors. I need to have that kind of love for people I don’t like or am indifferent to, the same as I have for those I love.

You never know what someone else is going through. God had put a friend on my heart months ago to reach out to. I never did. He stopped by my work yesterday just to say hi. We talked a little and after sending him a text later in the day I found out he was going through a really hard time. He has had some difficulties with his health as well and is in a really tough spot.

You never know what someone else is going through. If you have a gut feeling to check on your friends, then check on them. Ask them how they’re doing. Everyone is fighting their own battles even though there may be a smile on the exterior. Be kind always. Love your neighbor.

Leadership starts with asking questions. The best leaders understand that we empower those we lead by asking questions and being though proving leaders not demanding leaders. I shared an exert from an article on Socratic Leadership. The goal is use questions as a powerful leadership tool. ” Questions can also be used to communicate beliefs, set cultural norms, and push the edges of peoples thinking.”
MOLESKIN:
We recently discovered that my 11 yr old step son has been looking at pornography. As parts this is never an easy conversation. I ask that we have the strength to approach this in a manner that encourages our son to come to us to ask questions not to push him to be afraid.

Alex Cravens, the Youth Pastor at Butterfield Church in Russellville, Arkansas, recently posted.

Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow up in is not what it used to be. God created them and called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in. Their life wasn’t a coincidence or an accident. Raise them up to know the power they walk in as children of God. Train them up in the authority of His Word. Teach them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control. Empower them to know they can change the world. Don’t teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world but hopeful that they can do something about it. Every person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because of God’s sovereign plan. He knew Daniel could handle the lion’s den. He knew David could handle Goliath. He knew Esther could handle Haman. He knew Peter could handle persecution. He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life. He created them specifically for it! Don’t be scared for your children, but be honored that God chose you to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime. Rise up to the challenge. Raise Daniels, Davids, Esthers, and Peters! God isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a world. He has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth. Don’t let your fear steal the greatness God placed in them. I know it’s hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them, but they were born for such a time as this.

Just think about this and then think about what your own kids have already accomplished in life … no matter their age.  In all likelihood, you will think of some pretty incredible stuff.  You will also believe that Alex Cravens post is spot on.  Don’t stop with that, let your kids know how incredible they are.  You might catch them off guard and best of all, you might inspire them to achieve greater things.
