Humility And Greatness

True greatness is shown by humility, not pride. This was powerfully demonstrated and taught by Jesus Christ, who told His ambitious disciples: "Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Matt. 20:26-28).

True greatness does not lie with those
Who strive for worldly fame,
It lies instead with those who choose
To serve in Jesus' name. ~D. De Haan~

We can do great things for the Lord if we are willing to do little things for others.
