Jesus says that unless we become like children, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. And those who humble themselves like a child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. When we are little children, our parents provide for all our needs. But when we get older, we don’t need them as much and can do things on our own. We even boast to others about our accomplishments. It is this pride in our own abilities that will keep us from eternal greatness.
Lord, help me to be humble because the talents I have are a gift from you.
