Putting the Needs of Others ahead of your Own

"For I have given you an example that you also should do just as I have done for you"
- John 13:15

"The Bible instructs us to put God first and other second, yet the world encourages us to do otherwise.  We live in a world that often glorifies power, prestige, fame, and money, not service.  The Words of Jesus teach us that the most esteemed men are not the widely acclaimed leaders of society; they most esteemed among us are the humble servants of society.  Dietrich Bonhoeffer was correct when he observed, 'It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with that we owe others.'  In other words, reality breeds humility...and humility should breed service"
