Substitute another word for “leadership” and this remains true – “partnership,” “marriage,” “friendship,” “parenting.” Trustworthiness and faithfulness are the cornerstones of all our relationships, not only with God but with one another. We are human; we will disappoint one another again and again. But relationships built on trust and faith will endure, thrive and enrich us well beyond the superficiality of performance. And relationships without trust and faith will eventually become so hollow they will collapse, no matter how hard we work to prop them up.
