Where are all the leaders?

Where are the leaders? Where are you? The Church has plenty of committee members, board members, voters, and general decision-makers. But where are the leaders? We have Christian celebrities, clock-punchers, and bench warmers. But where are the leaders? Where are you? 
Where are the courageous ones, who still believe they can make an eternal difference, the ones who face their fear of failure head-on, and who laugh in the face of their taunting enemies? Where are the sacrificial leaders, those who count the cost and joyfully pay it? Those who refuse to look backward, mourning what was lost, but instead look forward to the joy which one day awaits them? 
Where are those leaders who aren't just satisfied with following “the plan”, but are dreaming God-sized dreams and are busy bringing them to fruition? Where are the people who gorge themselves in faith, hope, and love each day, those who spill out that love everywhere they go, on everyone they meet? 
Where are those whose chief desire is the advancement of God's kingdom, and will take their place in the front lines, bringing forth the first blows of justice for the weak? Where are the leaders who understand that meekness is not timidity, but is instead power under the control of the Holy Spirit? Where are the leaders? Where are you? 
Today, I stand committed to be that leader, and am waiting to be joined. For the time is now and the hour is short. Right now, Jesus is calling for all the Abrams to abandon their homelands, their security, and come to a place He will show them. He is calling all Davids to leave their sheep in the field and come to the father’s house and be anointed. He is calling all Jonahs to rise from their waterside banks and prepare to sound the alarm and proclaim the Good News. He is calling, like he did Moses, that we might come running, barefooted, after Him, willing to do his awesome, glorious bidding. Where are the leaders? Where are YOU?
