God uses the discipline of brokenness and pours out His grace to break our self-indulgent and self-promotional pride which can foster a winsome others-oriented spirit that can serve with joy without looking for approval and recognition…. truly putting others ahead of ourselves.
“Questionable lives” demonstrate the humility and servant spirit of Jesus to the point that others are irresistibly drawn to our “light” and ask us, “How can you do that?
This is the path to true greatness. It is a path that has a Cross where we are broken and come face-to- face with the truth that life cannot be about us but about others as we focus on Jesus, the One who is truly the Greatest Of All Time.
