Matthew 23:11-12

“The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

Well this is about as counter-culture as you’re going to get.

Instead of material wealth being the measuring stick for success as it is by the world’s standards…Jesus says our measuring stick should be whether we serve others.

And the more humbly we serve…the more exalted we are in the eyes of God.

All of creation pours itself out in being whatever it is.

A bird is all in as a bird. A dog is all in as a dog. A flower is all in as a flower.

But each of us has a choice.

Will I be all in as I pursue my ego’s desires…or all in as I pursue my true self’s desires?

To know the difference…I must be consciously awake.

I must see my ego for what it is and for what it is not.

It is necessary to give me some structure as I start out in life…but it will never lead me to my true self.

It takes letting go of my ego’s desires for me to discover God’s desires for me.

When my selfish desires diminish…then I will be open to the needs of others.

It is then that I will discover my true self.

It is then that I will know true joy and peace.
