This piece of inspiration was provided to me                                                                                                            in a context whereby it appeared to me that a                                                                                                                     person present was occupying a position of                                                                                                                 authority and responsibility, and was allowing                                                                                                                      the power of his position to be minimized by                                                                                                                        the flaws and weaknesses of his personhood.
*************************************
Do not allow your person                                                                                                                                                 to inhibit your position.                                                                                                                                                      Do not permit your position                                                                                                                                            to infringe upon your person.

Sometimes the lines are so close                                                                                                                                                    and narrow that only the Holy Spirit                                                                                                                                                    can distinguish and keep the two apart.
As a result, such a person must appeal                                                                                                                           to God for wisdom, direction, and guidance
