{ One Hundred Fifty-Four }

"You see, the world’s idea of greatness is to be in charge, to be at the top, to be looked up to, to be respected, to be honored, to have others notice you, to have others wait on you. The world measures greatness by rank, position, and wealth. To be applauded by men, that’s considered to be great in the world’s eyes. Greatness is measured by how many people work for you and how much influence you have.

But Jesus says, “No. That’s not greatness at all. True greatness is taking the lowest place, pouring yourself out on behalf of others, giving when you feel like receiving, being applauded by God even if no one ever sees or recognizes what you do. True greatness is measured not by how many people wait on you, but by how many people you serve, and how much of yourself you give away.”"
