Humble Heart

The master will dress himself to serve and tell the servants to sit a the table, and he will serve them.  Luke 12:37

The humble heart honors others.

Again, is Jesus not our example?  Content to be known as a carpenter.  Happy to be mistaken for the gardener.  He served his followers by washing their feet.  He serves us by doing the same.  Each morning he gifts us with beauty.  Each Sunday he calls us to his table.  Each moment he dwells in our hearts… If Jesus is so willing to honor us, can we not do the same for others. - Max Lucado
