John C. Maxwell Quote

God had to break Jacob to make him useful. In the breaking process, Jacob—the deceiving heel-catcher—became Israel, a prince with God who purposed to serve God rather than himself. Natural leaders often need to be broken. Consider your natural ability to lead a gift from God, but your character a gift to present back to God. Remember: Every time you stand up under the weight of adversity, you are being prepared, as Jacob was, to better serve God and lead people.
