Legalism vs Liberty
Bondage vs Freedom
Myopia vs Vision
Stagnation vs Growth

Many a times we assume that we know more than others and that our ways are "higher" than that of others... however we sometimes do lack that necessary skill to fully discern or perceive the whole big picture...

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

We tend to lean on our own understanding and begin to use our own value system to begin to try to influence the people around us with it... Many times failing to re-evaluate our value system... And the problem occurs when we begin to make judgment calls and think that a particular value is good and everyone should have it and we begin to stamp it and shove it at people... Like the adage goes... One mans meat is another poison... I have to learn conscientiously not to fall into the presumptuous trap where I begin to force down my values onto other people...

I don't want to bring legalism into people's life... I want to be bring Liberty
I don't want to bring bondage into people's life... I want to bring Freedom
I don't want to bring a myopic view into people's life... I want to bring a visionary view
I don't want to bring stagnation into people's life... I want to bring growth

I guess as a leader, I want to bring liberty, freedom, vision and growth into the life of the people around me... to inspire... to help everyone achieve their fullest potential... I think... That's is what I am called to do... To assist everyone achieve their fullest potential, their highest calling...
