Today’s Message is: “Greatness Day!” Why Not?


“A true and great leader knows how to bring out the greatness in others. They seek and find talent at every level of the organization. Great leaders nourish the ideas of others and they reward accomplishments of individuals and the teams they lead. They challenge the status quo and embrace failure. Are you a leader that doesn’t excuse yourself from the responsibility of bringing out the greatness in others and having fun at the same time?” —COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I believe that following link says it all for me. It truly describes what greatness is. Have a blessed day in the Lord today and always.

Text: Matthew 20:20-29 Verses 26-27, “But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:” To be truly great in God’s eyes, one must minister according to his ability and according to the needs of others. Christ’s ministers are not to “lord it over”…
