Leaders can be self-absorbed. They believe they make the rules.

 

However, there may come a time when this no longer works. And this change will be . . .

 

For All Eternity

 

“What is your name, sir? It is important I know.”

“It’s none of your business. Why would I want to tell you?”

“It is my job. I must make sure that all who enter are meant to be here.”

“I’m meant to be wherever I want to be. I’m one of the privileged few.”

 

“Please show me some identification—your driver’s license or other photo ID.”

“Why should I? You’re looking me straight in the eye. I’m not a mystery.”

“I need to be certain you are the right person to go beyond this point.”

“I’m more than the right person. I’m a maker of history.”

 

“But everyone who enters is just that, so what makes you unique?”

“I’m the leader of the pack, a man to be followed down the road of life.

I’ve paved the way for others who have the desire to succeed.

They cherish my leadership, for I help them avoid strife.”

 

“But you are entering the domain of love, and doing it alone.”

“I do nothing on my own. Others will soon fall in line behind me.”

“I must inform you, you are no longer the first in line—the chosen one.

You are a follower of the Lord, and will be such for all eternity.”
