Stand out – Step Down.
Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant. If you puff yourself up, you’ll get the wind knocked out of you
Matthew 23:11 (The Message)
One of the best ways to stand out, to let other’s see God’s love in you and to really make an impact on others, to really make a difference, is to SERVE. Step down. Put other’s needs above your own. Serve other’s. Help other’s. Make your life all about serving God and show that by serving other’s. That’s one of the ways that we serve God, by serving people, helping out people in need…it let’s them see God’s love in you. When you act selfless instead of selfish, it really does let other’s see God in you. When you puff yourself up and put yourself first, acting selfish or demanding your own way, you really will get the wind knocked out of you. The saying “Pride goes before the fall” is really true. Put other’s above yourself and it’s THEN that you’ll be lifted up!
