MATTHEW 23:11 ESV
11 The greatest among you shall be your servant.
Many of us disgust being servants and want to assume big positions. The truth of the matter is that all big positions are for servants. You might be confused. The bigest role ever managed by man is that of Jesus Christ. He came to serve and die for all our sins. When he was on earth, he lowered himself to the extent of washing the feet of other people. But now, his Glory forever remains. No one is much more special than Him.
You are special because you were created in the image of God. If you werent special, Jesus would have never died for you.
One become more special by being humble and ready to serve. Everyone loves to be around special people and special people have lots of humility. God disgust pride and so do all humans. You being special is not a reason for you to exhibit your pride amongst men.
1 PETER 5:5 ESV
5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
The same way that you are special, so is every other human being. So there need not be any pride breeding within you. We are all the same and equally special.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:7 NLT
7 For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn't given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?
When we look at others and are tempted to think we are somehow superior to them, we need to realize, "There, but for the grace of God, go I." The only reason you are not in their shoes is because of God's grace. Without God's help, you could be in worse shape than they are.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:10 ESV
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am . . .
REPEAT THIS AFTER ME: I am valuable because God loves me, just as He loves all people.
Stay Blessed
