Purpose

It’s hard to argue that our ultimate purpose as leaders is to serve.
And our ultimate quest is defined in Matthew 25:21, to have the Master say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
But what does it take to hear those words?
It takes understanding.
It takes obedience.
It takes commitment.
It takes love.
It takes compassion.
It takes focus.
It takes fortitude.
It takes faith.
It takes purpose.
And when all these come together in a magnificent pursuit of a noble and glorious objective, that’s something special.
And when that objective is reached, and those words are heard, “well done, good and faithful servant”, that’s something special too.
So as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:25 – “Run in such a way as to get the prize.”
And expect the prize to be nothing more than, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
And what a great prize that is.
Both for now and eternity.
