Well, I must say that these are great tools to have when looking at adding new members! Yes, they must love God, but to have a passion for Him is taking it to a whole new level! I pray that we all have that passion for God that we need to lead His people into battle each week.
My biggest obstacle lately has been discipline... although I have been working at changing that. I have been a "show up and sing the part given to me" member for many years, and have had to change that as I became the "plan what everyone else will show up and sing or play" person! I have to discipline myself to work on the new songs so that I know them well so I can teach them. I have to discipline myself to practice with instruments (which I do not currently play well at all!) so that I can help those playing theirs if necessary.
Lord, please continue to keep me disciplined to better myself and prepare myself to do that to which You have called me.
