Leading by Serving…

"Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves." – Luke 22:26.

St. Augustine said, “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.”

Many years ago, a rider on horseback came across a squad of soldiers who were trying to move a heavy log.

A Corporal stood by giving lordly orders to "heave." But the log was too heavy for the squad to move. So, the stranger on horseback asked the Corporal to give them a hand.

"Me? Why, I'm a Corporal, Sir!"

Dismounting, the stranger carefully took his place with the soldiers.

"Now, all together, boys—heave!" the stranger said. And the heavy log slid right into place.

The horseman?? He was none other than George Washington! (President of the United States who was called “Father of his country).

It has been said that you can tell a truly great person by the way he or she treats ordinary people.

Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, was truly the Servant of all. Jesus washing the feet of His apostles, is the most supreme act of humility.

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.”

Someone so rightly said:

“With pride, there are many curses.

With humility, there come many blessings.”

Stay Blessed!
