True Greatness

In a world that seeks the highest place,
Where power and status often race,
Jesus calls us to a different way,
To serve with love, to humbly stay.

True greatness lies not in the throne,
But in the hearts that love has sown.
In acts of kindness, small and grand,
We find the touch of Jesus’ hand.

Ambitions rise, desires for fame,
Yet Jesus redirects the flame.
To humble paths, to selfless deeds,
Where true fulfillment intercedes.

The greatest in God’s Kingdom bright,
Are those who serve with all their might.
Who put aside their own desires,
To light the world with holy fires.

Discipleship, a costly call,
To bear the cross, to give our all.
In self-denial, suffering’s face,
We find the depth of Jesus’ grace.

So let us trust in God’s own plan,
With humble hearts, let’s take a stand.
To lead with love, compassion’s art,
And put the needs of others first.

For in this path, we truly find,
A peace that fills both heart and mind.
Not seeking power, but to serve,
In Jesus’ steps, we find our nerve.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
