The Power of Benevolent Leadership (05/31/'24) -Statement

The Power of Benevolent Leadership In halls of power, shadows loom where kindness fades, and hearts consume. A leader's throne, void of grace, becomes a perilous, darkened place. Without benevolence, the soul is bare, a vessel cold, devoid of care. His wickedness, like a creeping vine, inflicts harm on many, line by line. The people groan beneath his reign, suffering his selfish whims and constant pain. A wicked leader is like a roaring lion or a charging bear, fierce and wild, causing relentless suffering. Compassion lost, the people weep; injustice sown, darkness deepens. When the wicked wield power, they mock the ways ordained by God. In contrast, the hands of a just leader, who leads with love and inspires trust, bring flourishing and unbounded joy to the people. Beneath a noble, righteous crown, the land thrives. Therefore, let us seek, in every choice, a leader with a servant's voice. True greatness lies in those whose hearts are kind, where mercy flows. A land is blessed by noble birth, where rulers recognize the worth of their people. With servant hearts, they lead the way and bring a brighter, hopeful day. In every leader, may we find a spirit pure and a heart that's kind. Only then can peace abound, and love and justice be ever found. We must strive to cultivate and support leaders who embody benevolence, kindness, and justice. Their influence spreads joy and righteousness throughout the land. In every leader, may we find a spirit pure and a heart kind, for only then can true peace and prosperity thrive. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 31, 2024)
