STOP AND THINK – – We grow small trying to be great. (E. Stanley Jones, 20th century missionary and theologian)
Some folks seem dead set on becoming great, accomplishing something that the whole world will notice and applaud. The goal seems more to be self-promotion than an achievement that will benefit society. Jesus had something significant to say about ambition and what greatness really is.
Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave. (Matthew 20:26-27)
