Your dream in God's way


In my younger days, I dreamed of having power to lord over people. But as I grow older, wisdom taught me to fear the Lord, so I chose to live a life of servanthood under His lordship. And He taught me that the way to truly lord over people is to serve them in love.

[Mark 10:42-45] Jesus said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be servant of all. For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
