You may not feel like a leader every day.
You might feel like a mom holding it all together.
A business owner juggling a dozen decisions.
A woman showing up, day after day, doing what needs to be done.
But here’s the truth: you are leading someone.
Leadership is influence and how you lead matters more than you think.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23
You may not stand on a stage or carry a title, but your influence is being carried into the hearts of your coworkers, your children, your team, your clients, your friends — every single day.
And the good news? You don’t have to lead perfectly or loudly. You just have to be intentional and quietly choose to lead well.
Leading well looks like:
-
Being rooted in God’s presence before rushing into your plans
-
Choosing compassion over control when you’re frustrated (this can be challenging 😳)
-
Speaking truth with grace, even when it’s hard
-
Making decisions through the lens of eternity, not urgency (write this one down!)
You don’t need the approval of the world. You don’t even need the approval of those that are the closest to you. You only need to allow your relationship with Jesus to shape the way you lead. Why?
Because when you lead well, you leave a legacy.
Not one built on performance — but on purpose.
Leading well and leaving a legacy of purpose driven impact matters. It matters to God, it matters to those in your sphere of influence, therefore it should matter to you.
Let’s choose to lead well. Remember, we are called to follow Jesus and to lead others to Him. (Salt and Light = influence. Influence = Leadership)
Because we are called to lead. (Need a reminder? You are the “salt of the earth”, the “light of the world”. Go read Matthew 5.
Because how we lead will echo far beyond today and even far beyond us.
I am praying for you. Lead on, sis!
