Leaders And Slaves

Matthew 20: 26-28

But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give His life as a ransom for many.

O my Father, it is only my sinful flesh that leads me to desire to be a leader. I want to grow my character to be more like Jesus, Who came only to serve and to give away His life. 

Show me, Father, how I can give my life away to serve others, and please don't let me get in the way of Your working in and through me to benefit others' lives. 

I praise You and thank You for the promise that You began this good work in me, and You will continue to perform it until I am perfected on the Day my King returns.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
