You could already be leading by example and you don’t even know it yet!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And do you know that you are a leader? If not, you might be like Charlie, a young man I know with cerebral palsy. I was visiting Charlie’s church and noticed two children following him in his wheelchair. One would open a door for him and the other was riding on the back of his wheelchair. After the service, Charlie wheeled up to me with a question. “Joni, I would really like to lead Sunday school here at my church, but I feel like nobody takes me seriously.” Well, glancing at those two little boys I realized that Charlie was already leading: he was cultivating a heart of compassion in those two boys. Oh friend, look, whether we realize it or not, we are all leaders. Titus 2 shows how all of us can lead and teach by our example. So, look around and consider just who you are teaching by your example! Lord willing, like Charlie, it’s for good and God’s glory.
