What does Mark 10:45 mean?

Reflection on Today's Verse

True service requires humility which means that the needs of others must be put before our own, not seeking recognition, and sometimes even facing rejection or misunderstanding. Yet, Jesus’ example calls us to embrace humility willingly.

As Christians, we need to reflect on our motivations, aspirations, and actions and to align them with the selfless love and service demonstrated by Jesus.

My Prayer

Dear Lord, help me to understand that greatness is not measured by the world’s standards but by the depth of my service to others. Teach me to have a humble heart, to be patient at all times, and have the kindness so I can see others through Your eyes, recognizing their worth and value.

I pray that Your selfless love to be my guiding light which will lead me to live a life that honors and glorifies You. In Your precious name, I pray, Amen.

    Alona Smith writes like she sketches—quick strokes, bold colors, no eraser. She ran a small-town art studio before VerseForTheDay invited her to swap charcoal for chapters, yet paint still flecks her keyboard. Dawn finds her barefoot on the porch, swirling watercolors across a travel Bible, letting sunrise seep into the margins. Neighbors wave as she bikes to the farmers’ market, basket rattling with sunflowers and Psalms scribbled on kraft-paper price tags.Alona trusts that Scripture behaves like clay: press your palms in, and a vessel appears where empty air once lived. Afternoon workshops with foster teens prove the point; they mold hope into coffee mugs, then watch steam carry it forward.Diplomas? Only framed sketches of hands lifted in worship. Awards? A dog-eared gratitude list taped to her fridge. Open her reflections when cynicism scratches—she’ll slide a brush into your grip and show you light hiding in the smear of everyday color.
