I Am Humbled

“If anyone wishes to be first,

they must be last

and be in service to all.”[1]

True leaders serve

the community’s well-being

regardless of consequences.

To proclaim this truth

and preach assuredly

with declarative insights.

Embrace the marginalized

“Whoever welcomes the child

Welcome me”[2]

See what God sees

remove the glasses

and listen to what God hears

Be humbled, share the Word

with heartfelt honesty

and accept the call.

“For us, this seems impossible,

but not with God;

all things are possible with God.”[3]

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
