281 - "No Big People/ No Little People" Matthew 18-20

“Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”  Matthew 18:2.   I wonder if the disciples thought it would be one of them since they left it "all" for Him.  Left their jobs.  Left their families.  Left their children.  Surely!  Yet, they are still raw around the edges in ambition and selfishness and jealousy and the list goes on.  They ask for themselves, don't they?  For their confirmation of their own self worth.  What's the problem here?  What's the problem with me---for I deeply struggle with what others think of me and where I am in my life.  Would my life be validated if I was a flourishing bestseller author and speaker, like a Woman of Faith touring brigade.  Or, if I had one million friends on Twitter.  Or, if I had a church of 10,000 who loved my every bible study word. 

There are no degrees of greatness on earth.  We all wrestle with evil.  We aren't the example----Christ is.  So, why do I still struggle to be somebody?  It could be that my world shouts out to me that I have not arrived nor ever will.  Maybe, it's my own words that I say to myself.  Never the matter, it's not the question to ask.  There are no big people and little people in God's Economy, not in this life even though our world is set up as the bigs and the littles.  

So, what's the point here:  Humble yourself as a child.  Matthew 18:4.
