Spiritual Leadership - pg13

"Jeremiah was not condemning all ambition as sinful, but he was
pointing to selfish motivation that makes ambition wrong -- "great
things for yourself"

When I read this, I was reminded to take a good look at my motivation
to accept responsibility as a leader. I wanted my heart to be in the
right place. I regularly pray for God to examine my heart and surface
wrongful intentions so He can uproot them and restore my heart for
Him.
