Greatness

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord...Jeremiah 29:11

How many times do we hear the world tell us BE GREAT! Since the beginning of time, greatness has been important.  I guess someone has to be in charge and have power but I'm not sure that makes them great.  I'm not sure money, stuff or position are the best indicators of how great you are but it seems like we live in a world that uses those very things as the benchmark.

I found some perfect words to put this in perspective.  I'm going to borrow these words from one of my favorite authors, Matthew Kelly.  I hope he doesn't mind and I hope they touch your heart and serv as a reminder of the true definition of greatness.

"Do you want to be great? Born in a stable...served all men...was criticized for His attempts to live and proclaim the truth...and He suffered.  He was the greatest.  If you want to be great, be little."

A Seed To Plant: Ponder Mr. Kelly's words and see if you can find some ways to grow in greatness.

Blessings on your day!
