Making it Happen

For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative. 2 Corinthians 8:17

I think initiative is one of the toughest leadership qualities to teach. That ability to see what needs to be done and then doing it without being told. You can tell when a young leader turns the corner and begins to anticipate the instructions of a superior. They instinctively size up the situation and begin working on solutions or improvements. They operate from a broader understanding of their leader’s intent. I think Jesus wants us to develop this same trait in our walk with Him. As we learn the broader scope of His design and desires, we begin to carry out His will intuitively (instead of waiting to be struck by some holy telegram). Read the scriptures, learn the broader intent and will of God and then take the initiative. SP203
