When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him,
“They have no wine.”
And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me?
My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
—John 2.3-5
Leadership is nudging someone into their next step
the moment before they know they’re ready.
Even Jesus had to be prompted by someone
who knew his gifts, and who saw the moment.
Sometimes we ourselves are pure water,
unaware we are about to be turned to wine.
God, help me be open to the moment
and the nudging of Mother Spirit, who sees.
