Bow Down, Be Lifted Up 

Many years ago in Germany, an elderly and highly qualified elementary school principal held “Graduation Day” for the fifth grade students of his school. Every time a student came to receive the certificate, he would bow down and hand it over to them. People who saw this were astonished and asked, “Sir, why do you bow before these tiny tots?” He replied saying, “All these kids have been trained by me to be raised as scientists, doctors, engineers and rulers of the country in the future. Today, they are little children but I believe that eventually, they would occupy high positions in the future. Therefore, I recognise the greatness in them and bow before greatness.” 

My dear friend, even our Lord sees the greatness in you like this school principal. Just like him, you too should recognise the greatness in people. Be humble before all people. They are also God’s creations having their own talents and purpose. Let not your position or status make you to look down on others. It is only when you have everything, you should be even more humble. This attitude of your heart will exalt you to greater heights. Recognise the greatness in everyone around you. 

Prayer

“Dear loving Father, this day I submit myself to You to live with humbleness. Help me to respect others, even those who are younger than me in age or designation. Give me humbleness to identify and appreciate the hidden greatness in them. Thank You for instilling this attitude in me, Amen.” 

‘Become better every day by appreciating others’
