Simon Sinek once said that great leaders

lead from their "why."

I once worked for an art company

that gave the staff random directions

but never told us what we were doing

or why we were doing it.

And I recall the directions were always in bits,

one task at a time.

It was very frustrating,

and the end goal always suffered

because the staff did not know why they were doing it.

Eventually I quit.

A lot of people think God is like this.

That everything is on a need to know basis,

and that we are given directions to obey.

And if you miss it,

well it sucks to be you.

Back to being an unhappy Christian trying to make

the mean old man in the sky happy.

This is not Christianity.

God is in relationship with you,

and he wants you to know why.
