We're doing an office staff retreat today, and I heard a message from a field worker (our main speaker) about not submitting to the fear of man, but everything becoming overwhelmed and dwarfed by our fear of the Lord. It was a real burden-lifter, and I could see how my efforts to win people over to Christ through persuasive argument or to get them to apply with Frontiers or come to a conference really reveals a lot of my fear of man and failure to love others as I love myself.
In other words, I was convicted, I'm happy to embrace some new changes, and I'm looking forward to meeting with people tomorrow in Tucson with a lot better attitude. Please pray for me as I go and listen to people's hearts and goals. God, please grant me wisdom to know when to speak, what to speak, and listening ears more than a ready mouth.
