Therefore, I have a request for the elders among you. (I ask this as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and as one who shares in the glory that is about to be revealed.) I urge the elders: Like shepherds, tend the flock of God among you. Watch over it. Don’t shepherd because you must, but do it voluntarily for God. Don’t shepherd greedily, but do it eagerly. Don’t shepherd by ruling over those entrusted to your care, but become examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will receive an unfading crown of glory. In the same way, I urge you who are younger: accept the authority of the elders. And everyone, clothe yourselves with humility toward each other. God stands against the proud, but he gives favor to the humble. (1 Peter 5:1-5, CEB)
Leaders should be those who are humble and not power hungry. Leaders should be those who prayerfully accept a place of leadership because it is thrust upon them and not sought out.
Leaders are examples and show how to live by doing, not commanding.
And when this happens it is easier to follow that leader.
Lead by example and help others love more.
Loving People. Loving God.
