Control and Manipulation Hinders Love by Robert Ricciardelli

Love can come when control and manipulation stops. When you care more about the other people’s needs than about their reactions in serving your needs. When you dare to reveal yourself fully and become vulnerable in your service to others, you make room for Love to come. People are often so ready to yield to the desires of the moment that they will follow a leader, and unfortunately sometimes, any one who leads. Blessed are those who lead as a servant of Love, and blessed are those who discern whom they serve and their motives for service.

Are you serving or being served in ways that honor God and others?

Are you authentic and vulnerable to to those you serve?

Ask God to reveal His heart’s desire for those you lead and for those you serve.
