jdrobidasOur generation needs leaders. Not just people with good ideas or good intentions. There are a whole bunch of people who have that. What we really need are people that will inspire us to act on all of those good ideas everyone else is talking about.
We need trailblazers. And the the reasons trailblazers are needed is because there are few of them. We need more. Trailblazers see a need and they act. Trailblazers see a change that should happen and they are moved to do something about it. Trailblazers see an injustice and work to bring about change.
If your going to be a trailblazer then don’t get depressed when everyone else doesn’t join you. There are people who have been fed fear their entire lives. They are fearful that if they moved to the left or the right in one area or another their life would end in a tragic collapse. So the fearful watch. The fearful watch the trailblazers run into new terrain headfirst and they wince as they anticipate a crash. Don’t worry if they aren’t with you. Don’t worry because if you continue to lead once they see that it can be done they too will follow.
Here’s the deal.Someone has to go first. Someone has to lead. Someone has to challenge the norm. Jesus did it. And when Jesus did it they said he was possessed. Jesus -The exact imprint of God… The One who was oozing God’s glory was accused of being possessed by Satan. They were so fearful because what Jesus did was very different from all they had experienced in the past. He messed with their traditional view and never stopped because the fearful wouldn’t follow. He did what we need others to do in our generation. He led.
If people wouldn’t join Jesus then don’t be shocked if everyone doesn’t join you. But if you lead there are those who will follow. We need you to lead.
