Reflect on these evidences of brokenness in a spiritual leader I recently gained from a Spiritual Life Conference. May they be growing dimensions in my life, and yours too if you are charged with shepherding broken people:

1. All rights surrendered
2. Willing to be rejected
3. Transparent – willing to share weakness
4. Vulnerable – willing to share failures
5. A sense of total inadequacy in self strength – 2 Cor 3:5
6. A sense of adequacy in Christ through His strength – Phil. 4:13, 2 Cor. 3:6
7. Trusting God whatever – resting even with external turmoil
8. Obedience out of a love motive because I want to, not because I have to
9. Recognizing the power in weakness
10. Willing to be weak
11. Willing to fail
12. A readiness to let others receive credit
13. Genuine humility
10. Placing value upon those who have little or no value to yourself
15. A readiness to affirm (build-up) others
16. Teachable
17. Willing to be out of control
18. Willing to be misunderstood
