When people leave you

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? Matthew 19:27 KJV Many who don't believe in your vision and leadership will leave you at this point because they do not see the vision and they are not sure what the outcome will be. If you are following a leader and you're not sure what the vision is you may need to be a little patient and not be in a hurry. If you do leave then how many leaders will you have to leave in order to see the big picture? The truth is that when a leader or a movement starts, it is not always in full. The vision is always progressively elaborated. Learn patience and stop seeking validation by numbers only. The disciples were not sure what was in it for them but later they realised this and eventually changed the world even though they were unlearned. There is power in vision and not just instant gratification. As a disciple you need to learn self-discipline and stop jumping around. Leaders, when people leave you or abandon your mission, it is not always about you. Just remember the vision.
