We are constantly trying to be lifted up while Jesus is constantly trying to help
us to see that we can only be lifted up when we bend down.  Take, for example,
the story of the towel used by Jesus to become a servant as He washed and dried
the feet of the disciples.  That towel stands as a reminder for us.  Mark 8:34 says: 
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow Me."  It isn't easy to carry a cross without bending down to pick it up.
We might be called upon to use that towel as we dry the eyes of those we meet
along the way.  A servant would have a clean towel ready when it is needed.
Bend down, pick it up and use it.
 
Have a great day!
