When your eyes are opened

For many years  I had lived in spiritual blindness until about eight years ago when the scales started falling off my eyes. I began to see, feel and hear the presence of God in my life. In 2013, I spent a lot of time writing the leadership blogs for We CAN Leadership Institute. The insights were just flowing - I could write three or four weeks' blogs in advance. I will never take credit for this inspiration. None of my writing was from me but from the of the Holy Spirit, after all who am I if not a vessel in the hand of God.

So the words came and I wrote.  At the beginning of this year, 2014, I was looking forward to learning more wisdom on leadership from One that is Wisdom...but nothing. No nugget, no inspiration to write, no word....nothing! Now, the easy thing would be to force myself to write up something, still I could not do it. But, one thing that came was the leading to study the Bible in a consistent and disciplined way, so  I started. I started getting inspiration for blog @jouneyintospiritualmaturity. The words and insights were flowing like a river as I studied the Word and continued my spiritual growth .

But nothing for the Leadership blog.- one of the passion that God has blessed me with. Jesus said we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, for me this meant, clearly that we are leaders, we are to 'be' leaders in all spheres of life. I love learning and writing on leadership to equip, empower and enable people to fulfill their purpose on earth. I was praying and waiting for the leading and insights for the leadership blog.

One day, in the quiet of the day, the direction came, as always very clear. The leadership blog for 2014 will be written by other Holy Spirit inspired leaders. As always, I view myself as a babe in Christ still on my spiritual journey into maturity, I wanted to confirm this leading, so I started asking those that God laid in my heart. The result was the start of a new series of Leadership blogs @  www.wecanleadershipinstituteblog.blogspot.com, that will lift you up, inspire you and motivate you to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. I am truly blessed with the leadership of the Holy Spirit in my life.

What about you? What has the Holy Spirit lead you to do this year? Are you still resisting it or have embraced it?

Almighty God, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, to lead us, guide us, empower us and reveal your will to us. Help us to be sensitive to His leading and give us the grace to follow his leading in all areas of our lives. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
