Everyone of us wants our life to matter and have a deeper meaning to people around us. We are being created with a desire to live a great life.But the problem we have,is that, we lose sight of those little things that make life great and what it means to make a difference in our lifetime.
We fail to Understand that the core value to leading a good life is knowing God, and serving others.By the standard of the world , we would likely never be considered great, when w e stoop low to serve other. But to God, yes , definitely!
We are able to make a difference just by being a servant which is the core value of leadership. Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 2:5-7 that the attitude we should have is the one Jesus had.He always had the nature of God , but he did not think that by force He should try to remain equal with God. Instead of this, of His own freewill, he gave up all that He had and took the nature of a servant.He became like ah human being and appeared in human likeness.
Many people fail to realise that the key to GREATNESS lies not in the amount of money they make but in their freewill to be used in God's service. Some even think it is in the prestige of career, or even limited to the most popular, most outgoing, smartest or most gifted.
But the opportunity of GREATNESS can be found in the simple and often quiet role of service. Apostle Peter in 1Peter 4:10 - Further explains thus:"Each one as a good manager of God's different gifts must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God".
