Did you ever know someone who was more interested in what you could do for them than what they could do for you? People in public office and leaders of corporations often get bloated egos and imbalanced views of their own importance. The little guy becomes a means to an end. This is the opposite of the kingdom of God.
Do you want to see grace? See Jesus: Son of God, Creator of the Universe, the Anointed One, Healer of Broken Hearts, Giver of Life, Lion of Judah, Lamb of God, Judge of the Earth. Then picture Him taking off His garments and wrapping a towel around Himself, probably not a silk one either. After that, He kneels down and washes dirty feet of twelve “little guys.” Call it servanthood. Call it a lesson in leadership. I call it grace.
Oh, what lengths God is willing to go to in order to win your heart! How far He will run to embrace the prodigal! Surely, He is gracious and full of compassion! Remember, He loves you very, very much.
