Do y’all know what has really been grinding my gears lately? Why does America have to be the greatest country in the world? Why does America have to be first and the best at everything? It is a superiority complex. Jesus never talked about superiority or being the best or having the most. He talked about love, faith, and salvation.
Why can’t we as Americans aspire to be the most loving country in the world or the most accountable country in the world? Do we consider these attributes when we speak on being the greatest country in the world?
I was taught and have always aspired to do my best, not necessarily be the best. There is a difference. Nobody cares about what you have or if you’re at the top of the list if you’re not kind, loving, accountable, graceful, and genuine. Remember that God never called the most qualified people, He qualified the people with pure, faithful hearts. So while we are talking about being on top and being the greatest country in the world, we really need to think about the definition, and if our definition of greatness is rooted in heart posture or the earthly power of superiority. We can’t be the best and the greatest at everything, but we can always look out for each other.
