Through Humility
“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” – Mark 10:31
As a wife and mother, I often think about what it means to be “first.” The world teaches us that success comes from being the best, the strongest, or the most accomplished. We see people chasing titles, recognition, and admiration. But Jesus reminds us that His Kingdom works differently.
Everyone wants to be on top, but not everyone is willing to do the hard work. True greatness isn’t about power or prestige—it’s about service and sacrifice. As a mother, I see this every day. The world may not notice the meals cooked, the laundry folded, or the late nights spent comforting a child, but God does. These small acts of love and service, done with a willing heart, are what truly matter.
Jesus Himself set the example. He washed the feet of His disciples. He humbled Himself for others. He teaches us that the path to true greatness is through humility, not pride. Being first in God’s eyes means putting others before ourselves. It means loving, serving, and giving without expecting anything in return. In the end, those who give their lives in love will find themselves first in His Kingdom.

Reflect: Think of moments when you feel “last.” Offer it to the Lord today.
