Many would-be strong Christ followers forget one simple truth. They stretch and strive to do awesome things for God, while all the time forgetting that even the most awesome sounding accomplishment is worthless in God’s eyes if it’s done to receive man’s applause. God can and will ordain each believer to do awesome works for Him, but often those works are done behind the scenes and without earthy recognition. Many times they are the tough jobs–the jobs that require sweat and blood. Those who understand these truths and seek only God’s acclaim will gain much in heaven. Those who grandstand with their talents and abilities will lose even what they thought they had.
“At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: ‘I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of he Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven
In Christ,
