How Love Leads in the Face of Crisis
It isn’t difficult to become overwhelmed in the midst of chaos and crisis. Jesus was frequently underwhelmed by the faith His disciples showed. The disciples were frequently overwhelmed by the vision of the Lord, particularly in the sea.
Yet the truth is that becoming overwhelmed doesn’t change much about the situation. The crowd must be fed. Work must be completed. There are feet to wash. Perhaps becoming overwhelmed is selfish. It seems that Jesus wanted His disciples to be focused on the needs of others—to love others. We never seem to have enough, yet God always provides.
My friend Rebecca, who has been our office manager at Charisma Media for more than twenty-five years, created a great object lesson for the overwhelmed. She wore arm floaties to work one day. In her brilliant teaching manner she made it clear that flotation devices are available for the overwhelmed.
Sometimes effective leaders will bring laughter into chaos. A loving leader finds ways to help her team manage the madness.
The Holy Spirit keeps us afloat. Jesus is our Prince of Peace. When the job is too big, budgets are too large, and people are too overwhelmed, do what the disciples did. Do all that you can do, and trust the Lord to help you help your team.
