Sometimes we want to retreat into ourselves,

Not for peace, but because we are not brave.

when asked to lead, we wither as if a plant starved of water,

shriveling in a bright sun, “shouting don’t chose me”.

Reach deep today for that love God shows that you can lead others.

“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh
and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

Book of Exodus
