For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
The greatest in the Kingdom of God is the one who puts themselves at the disposal of others, who uses their gifts in serving the well-being of others and who has no interest whatever in titles, dignity, or status.
True Christians put their self-value in the kind of person they are for others, and not in some purely external trappings. They do not pretend to be something they are not. They do not compromise their behaviour to conform to other people’s expectations or opinions. They live their lives authentically as followers of Christ.
