Great Grace
Contrary to what many people mistakenly believe, humble service does not mean neglecting your own interests or needs. When you position your life to serve, you take a posture of humility, and it releases grace into your life. If serving is leading you to burnout rather than grace, then it‘s a sign that your serving may not be an expression of true humility.
The Lord doesn‘t say we must not care about our own interests. Devaluing our lives is false humility and will not position us to receive the grace of God. The humility that attracts God‘s grace into our lives is Jesus‘s humility, the kind that says, “I‘m going to take the greatness on my life and use it to make You great.”

About this Plan
As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
