Nobody likes to be last. We have a hard enough time >settling for second place, much less last place. Jesus >reverses the rank. The person who is most important to him is >not the person seeking the status and notoriety. The most >important person is like Jesus himself: willing to give up rank >and status and importance to serve. For Jesus, last means >first in service and first in the eyes of God. > > >MY PRAYER... > Magnificent God my Savior, you have made the world wonderful >for me and have given your Son to redeem me. How can I ever >thank you or repay you for your grace and kindness. Today help >me see those you want me to serve with grace and kindness as I >try to be more like you. This I pray in the name of the one >who washed his disciples' feet. Amen. >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://www.crosswalkmail.com/xcwsi_fgvrfj.html >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
