Spiritual leaders have several traits in common. They have a healthy self-image, and their leadership flows out of who they are in Christ. Their leadership is motivated by love. They have a genuine concern for others. They have a servant’s heart. They put the needs of the organization above their own. If you desire to be a spiritual leader, ask the Lord to develop these traits in your life. Consider the example of Jesus.

“He got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet.”

— John 13:5 (NLT)

Lord Jesus, only You can make us into true spiritual leaders. Equip us, I pray, to be the leaders You have called us to be. In Your holy name. Amen.
