“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.”
Romans 12:10 (NKJV)

JULY 5 - Only a select few—lowly shepherds, an elderly prophetess, a distant cousin, a devout Jew, and later…Wise Men from a foreign nation — only this delegated remnant honored Christ, the Son of the living
God. Only they acknowledged His lowly birth, while the rest of the world slept. But because He was indeed great, “The Greatest,” there was no need to boast. There is never a need to boast or brag of a higher status, because true greatness never boasts. Whenever you find anyone who sings his own praise, you can be certain insecurity and doubt float around as swirling debris inside his heart.

Allow your actions to convey to people your greatness, and be content without drawing attention to yourself. Rather, make a practice of sincerely highlighting the achievements of others. Whenever
you are tempted to boast, realize that there is a possibility you are probably not as great as you think you are.

As you begin to experience promotion in life, refuse to look down upon another. Remember where you came from, and remember that you have much to learn. See others as greater than yourself, taking the
posture of a servant. Your responsibility in life is founded upon unfeigned love—caring for the welfare of others more than your own. Walking in love causes your higher status to become a hand up for another. Samuel Milton Jones said, “What I want for myself I want for everybody.”
