 Are You Putting Others First?
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Do not be like the boss who wrote this memo to his personnel director: "Search the company for an alert, talented young man who can step into my shoes. When you find him - fire him!" You may smile, but if you feel constantly threatened by someone else's ability or success, you have a problem that needs to be dealt with. That problem is insecurity and jealousy, and it will stunt your growth and seriously limit your future. When Hitler was looking for a chauffeur he selected the shortest man he could find and kept him as his driver for the rest of his life. This man was so short that he needed special blocks under the driver's seat just to see over the steering wheel. Hitler used other people to make himself look bigger than he really was. Do you ever do that? Paul says, "...take delight in honoring each other" (Romans 12:10). Whose life are you making a difference in today? Everybody you meet has a seed of success, but most of them cannot find it. That is where you come in! Help them to find it, even if it means sacrificing yourself to do it. Look at their temperament, their desires, their gifts, and their opportunities. Once you find that seed, fertilize it with opportunity and water it with encouragement. If you do, you will have the joy of seeing that person blossom before your eyes. Everybody is assigned to somebody. Find out who you have been assigned to and pour your life into them. Do that and you will be a success in God's eyes!
