Less of Me

We live in a world that constantly pushes us toward visibility, influence, and recognition. Success is often measured by how many people know our name, how many followers we have, or how much authority we possess.

Jesus completely turned that thinking upside down.

When He came into the world, He did not arrive as a conquering king surrounded by earthly power. He came as a servant. He spent His time helping the hurting, teaching the overlooked, touching the untouchable, and ultimately giving His life for others.

The challenge for modern Christians is that we are trying to follow a Servant King while living in a culture that celebrates self-promotion.

A servant’s heart begins when we stop asking, “How can I get ahead?” and start asking, “How can I help someone else move forward?”

The Kingdom of God measures greatness differently than the world does. In God’s economy, serving is not a step down. It is a step up.

The question is not whether we are serving. The question is who we are serving and why.

True greatness has never been found on a throne. It has always been found with a towel.
