GOD our leader

Just to be tender, just to be true,

Just to be glad the whole day through,

Just to be merciful, just to be mild,

Just to be trustful as a child:

Just to be gentle and kind and sweet,

Just to be helpful with willing feet...

Just to let love be our daily key,

That is God’s will for you and me.

God our leader...

Is he?

What is a leader? How does one become one?

What makes a good leader?

Matthew 9: 36:

“When He saw the multitudes he was

moved with compassion for them,

because they were weary and scattered, like sheep without a

shepherd”.
