Leadership in Tough Times

- In memory of those Injured on Typhoon Morakot

In knowing how Typhoon Morakot devastated across Taiwan, I cried out with sadness in my heart as many might have.


Wealth and fame can always set stages spotlighted with temptations. Going beyond is of supernatural abundance in life. In an extremely high standard, Jesus Christ is the only leader immune to making a mistake without a learning process. In our belief, kindness, mercy, and tolerance in love can shape a life toward perfection. Yet wisdom only appears when one has strong faith and enthusiasm with God's inspiration and with disciplinary practices in good times and bad times. Apostle Paul is a divine role model; Paul is full of wisdom and his influence has been so significant.


President Ma is, indeed, a nice guy; I met him a few times and supported him with hours of mine dedicated to his campaign for his first-term Mayor of Taipei City back in 1990s. He grew up in a fairly privileged family and received good education with little to no hard times. The only tough time he might have had could be when his father passed away. Wisdom hasn't ever seemed to fill President Ma nor did he surrender to lift in the fullness of blessings. Our forgiveness has become so precious and costly when we understood the truth where the panic leadership delayed responses to the disastrous flood, followed with inadequate statements to the public. It is a painful lesson ever. Then, who holds tomorrow?


Our prayer for Mr. Ma and those injured... In Him, I pray:

" Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do! "
