The greatest among you must be a servant.
Matthew 23:11
NLT Bible
Many people equate greatness with power, status and wealth. They believe that they are superior to others and have no desire to mingle with those they believe are not at their level. This, however, is a warped and selfish theory about true greatness. Great people are those who have a servant's heart. They never let their position in life hinder their ability to serve.
Whenever a need arises, great people will step up and do whatever it takes to meet that need, with absolutely no thought of reward or recognition. It doesn't matter if it's a menial task, they just do it willingly and cheerfully. They love all people, are humble, trustworthy and always ready to lift others up and lighten their load. Our perfect example is Jesus who devoted His life to serving others. We need to do the same.
Thank you Lord for being the epitome of servanthood. Help me to have the heart of a servant, to willingly minister to the needs of others, irrespective of race, colour or creed. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
Lydia
