I am reading The Heart of a Servant Leader by C. John Miller. It is a collection of letters to ministry leaders - great reading.
In one letter to missionaries who are re-evaluating their call, Miller writes:
"One evidence of the Spirit's presence in our lives is our seeing where we really are and admitting it to others."
I know that it takes a lot of intentional time with God to really know myself and to really know my motives. Do you take the time for such disclosure by the Spirit? It takes much prayer, Scripture intake and painful gaze at our deepest heart in God's mirror. How often do you pray Psalm 139:23-24:
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
