Being Spent
Spiritual leaders need to consider the words of Paul, “I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls.”
Paul was willing to give of himself in every way for the benefit of others. Specifically, he desired their salvation.
In a self-serving and self-driven world, it is challenging to find those who have a greater desire to give than receive. However, as spiritual leaders, our focus must be on giving ourselves to others so that they might be saved.
I pray our spiritual leadership is of such nature that we look for ways to give of ourselves to help direct people to heaven.
