"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.  If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.  If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.  To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." (1 Peter 4: 10-11 NIV)   "Jesus exemplified humility throughout his life.  He was born in the humblest of circumstances; he was obedient to his earthly parents; he called people to himself as one who was 'gentle and humble in heart'; he said, "I am among you as one who serves"; he washed the disciples' feet on the very night of his betrayal; and he taught, "he who humbles himself will be exalted."  (From The Practice of Godliness by Jerry Bridges)   "So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' " (Luke 17:10 NIV)
