Humility can take you a long way.
You stand out and are noticed.
My friend recently was noticed about her humility in being a
servant.
So, my friend works at a hotel as a receptionist at the front
desk. It is a part of her job to be hospitable to the guests, and make sure
their stay at the hotel is a pleasant experience.
This past week one of the guests was so impressed by her service
that he went to her manger and expressed how in awe they were about the
treatment and hospitality they received.
If she didn’t have a servant’s heart, I am positive she would not
have received that great review!
And because of this she might be in consideration now for a
promotion.
I believe that humility and a servant’s heart go hand in hand.
You can’t be willing to serve others if you can’t humble yourself.
Jesus Christ is the best demonstration of humility and having a
servant’s heart.
Who,
being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

9 Therefore
God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
and gave him the name that is above every name,
He humbled himself, he became a servant. He died for us.
However, he rose again with all power.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”
those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”
This is one of the promises God gives us in his
word.
Hope is
a powerful thing.
That’s why when you have hope in God it can push
you to some great things in your life like building a three story house from
the ground up.
On the other hand, when you lose hope it can push
you to do some terrible things like committing suicide
Hope.
To me hope is seeing my future as being much better than my present.
And then when you add God to the mix,
Hope is I can do anything I put my mind, and hands
to do.
Why?
Because I know that God has a great future for me
and you too!=)
Just like the promise above, another verse
emphasizes this too.
It’s found in Jeremiah 29, it says,
For I know the plans I have for
you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Stay in God’s Peace, not in pieces
