Question for you...

Is your identity found in your leadership title, or your sonship or daughterhood? As leaders, it's easy to lose sight of who we truly are. We chase after achievements, approval, and success, hoping they will define us. Yet, deep within each of us lies a longing—an innate desire to know our purpose and our true identity.

No matter how great your influence is as a leader, the Father is calling you to walk a different path: the path of sonship or daughterhood that daily leads us up the mountain to the Father's heart. It's on this journey that we let go of perfectionism and trying to measure up to others' expectations, and glimpse our true reflection in the eyes of the Father. Our identity is no longer rooted in our accomplishments or failures but in the unshakeable truth of who God says we are.

Even Jesus, the Almighty One, the very Savior of the world, needed to continually walk the path of sonship. He often slipped away from the crowds to go spend time with His Dad. Like Christ, we must never lose sight of our need to always identify ourselves by our highest title: son or daughter. It is from this place that our leadership naturally overflows with His love, joy, and peace. We become conduits of His grace, impacting the world around us with all of the Father's goodness which we bring down the mountain each day from His Presence. He becomes the source, not us. We get to simply pass on the bread like the disciples feeding the crowds.
