How to get to the top...

One of the biggest adventures you can have is getting to the top. If your at the bottom the only way to get to the top is one step at a time. With this being said, it can be applied to many things like mountain climbing, hiking, work or just life in general! Im going to help you with a biblical twist and im going to use Matthew 23:11,12 as my example it says....

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

I would almost say this enplanes itself! what an awesome verse, leaders are meant to be servants and to be a leader, first you must be a servant. What dose this entitle you mite ask? It entitles allot of hard work and dedication, staying late (maybe off the clock), doing something that mite not be your job. its an eager heart and a willing spirit, you must be willing to be used and willing to be hurt. Your going to out there and give it your best shot! and your not going to get noticed for possibly years... just like one of the parable in the Bible. A father has two sons, one son stays and helps his father, while the other one leaves out of spite. years later after the son who ran away comes back the father greets him with a party, drink, food and presents. The son who has stayed back to help all this time asks why he never was treated that way, and gets jealous. But the father says, Son! don't fret you get ALL of my land, my property, all my possessions!!! you inherent all that I have!!! so don't worry in the end God sees all that you do and will reward you greatly. well friend its late and I must go, I'm praying for you!

God Bless

Matthew 23:11,12 (KJV)

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.


Luke 15:11-32 (KJV)
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
