there's greatness in each one of us because our Creator God is a great God and everything He creates is in His image. There's a knowing deep inside of us a longing to become great... we were made to become part of something larger than ourselves...something that requires abilities that we don't have in our strength and power. Often this desire leads to striving to become great ..through the accumulation of riches, through fame and success, through being the best at something..better than anyone else, competiton.
God placed greatness in you for one purpose..that we were to serve it, serve that which HE placed in each one of us..His Spirit..when He breathed life into us on the day we were born...His greatness keeps us alive..... and we are to serve others with that life. The greatness in you is His greatness and just as He came to this world as a servant ..through Christ..He calls each one of us to serve greatness like an amazing dinner..the meal is humility, grace and mercy and we are called to offer it to all He brings into our lives because that's what He offered us.
Remember His greatness brings lasting rewards and blessings beyond what this world can offer you . Fame is short-lived, riches can't be taken with you...the lasting fruit of greatness can be passed on from generation to generation..it's called love and it refreshes the soul and brings peace and joy and life whenever its given.
Where are you in your journey of greatness? What are you bringing to the table? Who are some of the people you know that you consider to be great?
