Can you name the five wealthiest people in the world? What about the last five Heisman trophy winners or the last five Miss Americas? Can you name ten people who have won the Nobel Prize?
Hardly anyone will get them all yet at the time those people seemed so important.
Now list three friends who helped you through a difficult time or several people who made you feel special.
I dare say you did better this time. The really important people in life aren’t the famous ones. They’re the ones who touched our lives and made us better people.
“Say hello to Priscilla and Aquila, who have worked hand in hand with me in serving Jesus. They once put their lives on the line for me…”
— Romans 16:3 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, help us to be really “important people”—the kind of people who touch others in ways that enrich their lives. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
