Accidentally Read Hebrews

I accidentally read the book of Hebrews when I was finished reading the book of James. I stumbled upon Hebrews 13, and some of the verses struck me. 




verse 7: Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
verse 17: Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
verse 24: Greet all your leaders and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy send you their greetings.




It's about having a good relationship with your leader, and to the people accountable to you. It reminded me of the person who lead me to God, and another person I was reminded was our campus minister. Our campus minister, kuya Cy, told us that we should be open to him and told us that he's just a SMS away. I'm really encouraged to share more to kuya Cy since my leader, Jalil, isn't around. I needed to surround myself with not just one person, but with a few more godly men who would give me godly counsel. Aside from Jal, Kuya Cy is one of those.

I was just reminded that I should be confident in sharing to these accountable people, as they keep watch over me through my walk with God. I shouldn't be hiding anything from them, it's hard to keep things to yourself knowing that God knows what you're hiding, so it's pretty useless to hide.

Have confidence in your leaders. Trust them, because they love you just as Christ loves everyone. Leaders don't bite. They don't judge, they don't condemn. They LISTEN, and godly counsel comes from them.
