Denying Oneself
Denying oneself and truly opening one’s heart and soul in submission to the One who brought it into being is not a painless process.
True leadership is shown when one sets themselves aside in order to make room at the table for others, and uses all tools at their disposal to lift others higher than they themselves could ever hope to reach.
In the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman scholar, philosopher, and politician,
"A room without books is like a body without a soul."
