Jesus Measures Greatness by Service The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position. If you can demand service from others, youve arrived. In our self-serving culture with its me-first mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept. Yet God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you. The truth is, without a servants heart, you are tempted to misuse your God-given SHAPE (spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences) for personal gain. While knowing your SHAPE is important for serving God, having the heart of a servant is more important. Your shape reveals your ministry, but your servants heart will reveal your maturity. No special talent or gift is required to stay after a meeting to pick up trash or stack chairs. Anyone can serve. All it requires is character. How can you know if you have the heart of a servant? Jesus said, You can tell what they are by what they do. (Matthew 7:16 CEV)
