Significance

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rules of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:20-28

Significance.  What does it mean to you?

Significance cane mean many things, but over all it means that something is important or someone is important.  When we look at our lives, we want to make sure our lives are "significant".  We want to contribute to society and so we chase after things.  It could be that we are chasing a dream for money, a house, a car, having family, or love.  We all want to look back on our life and say my life was significant.

But, when we serve others our life is significant.  We may not have a huge house or lots of money, but what we will have is a life filled with treasures where we know that we put ourselves to work using our God given talents and followed his path to serve others.  That to me, is more significant then anything life can give you in the way of material possessions.  

So I challenge you today, pray and find out what your true talents are and then use those to serve others.  Soon you will start seeing the blessing in your life come to life and one day when we are in front of our creator we will look back and say, "yeah, my life was significant".  

Choose to serve others, just as Christ wants us to do.
