We live in a culture that often seems to encourage people to have a "me-first" mentality. We are encouraged to look out for ourselves and make sure our own needs are being met before we worry about anyone else. This is not a new concept however; people in Jesus' day seemed to have a similar focus. What was Jesus' response? "If you want to be first, you have to be last." "If you want to be the greatest, you have to be the least." Jesus calls us to be servants and to put others' needs above our own first. His challenge is to take the blessings that He pours into our lives and then turn around and pour those blessings into the lives of others. So how do I do that? And why should I think of "you" before I think of "me"?
