If you think hard enough, there is somebody who looks up to you; there is somebody that your actions influence and the fact that you have breath means you are a steward over the gift of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus word&#8217;s concerning our Kingdom acceptance and entrance are very specific, &#8220;Well Done! Good and faithful servant!&#8221; &#8220;Faithful Servant!&#8221; &#8220;Servant!&#8221; Though we have leadership roles, we must be servant leaders.  Our influence is never greater than our honest, outward example of patience and humility &#8212;  especially through adversity.
