Freeing, Not Confining

The hardest thing sometimes for leadership is to free, empower another to do what the Lord has called them to do. We tend to want to control. It is very much like parents as the children grow up. I have seen some parents who still treat their grown children as little children. It is understandable in some ways - wanting to see their children succeed not fail. But unless we free they can not truly experience success. It really comes to a trust issue doesn't it? It also comes down to how well we have discipled.
