Jesus dismantled the social hierarchies of His day, teaching that humility—not status—opens the door to true joy and belonging. When we stop striving for the best seat and choose to lift others up, we reflect God’s heart. Humility frees us from self-absorption and allows us to widen the circle, inviting people who may feel left out or overlooked. As you go about your day, look for ways to serve without expecting anything in return. In God’s kingdom, those who humble themselves will be exalted. Let’s live with open arms and open hearts, making room for everyone at God’s table.
