Measuring tape -they let you know that you don’t quite measure up; Sandpaper -abrasive, painful, irritating crafting you into a sharper tool; Hammers -subtle as a freight train, demanding; Skill saw -gifted in cutting others down; Vise grips -get a grip and don’t let go squeezing the life out of you; Grinders -explosive personalities; Axes -negative, grumbling tearing down hopes and plans; Hatchets -smaller chops holding on to past hurts and grudges; Putty -no consistency or back bone. You can learn from each of these to be the strong leader God has purposed you to be. See the positive in each and you will grow.
