Ephesians 4.
We have a standard to be held to. Regardless of circumstance or our position, we must strive to live up to what we have attained in Christ. When you look at your journal, at your past writings, and you see that you were once so close to God, but now feel like you're drifting away, remember to live up to what you have already attained! God has done a work in you. His works in us don't fade like the flowers or melt away like the snow. Those changes He worked in you, those hopes He gave you, they are still active. You just have to remember the standard He brought you to and live up to it.
Don't say "I'm not the same man I was back then." When you accepted Christ, you became new. Any other change is not as powerful as what Christ has worked in you, and desires to continue and finish working in you.
If you feel inadequate, like you aren't where you should be as a leader, confess this to The Lord and ask Him to lift you up to where He wants you, and humble yourself to Him. He will make you new. Amen?
Be who you are regardless of where you are.
