Good Morning!

Some people feel like a small pebble lost in the immensity of the Grand Canyon.  But no matter how insignificant we may feel, we can be greatly used by God.

In a sermon early in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. quoted Jesus' words from Mark 10 about true servanthood.  Then he said, “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.  You don't have to have a college degree to serve.  You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.  You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve.  …You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” Jesus said, “Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

Is the purpose of our serving to please our Lord, rather than to gain people's applause?  If we're willing to be a servant, we can achieve true greatness.
