Soren Kierkegaard said, “Humility before God is true pride.”  You know your place before God, therefore you now know your place before the world.  We can say as Paul was able to say, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ,” (I Cor 11:1). 

The world needs more people who are ridiculously confident that they know what it means to follow Jesus.  No more quivering under the false modesty of, “Don’t follow me, just look to Jesus.”  Have the confidence to demand that people follow you under full conviction that if they do so, they will find Jesus and his way regardless of the obstacles and setbacks that challenge your destination.
