Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was taken a decade before my birth. I only know of him through history books. Until now, the only words I had heard him speak were from 'I have a Dream....' In researching this last day and choosing which quote to post, I found this audio track posted at the The King Center. I invite you to listen to him.

I listened to it once, and I felt Dr. King's passion. I listened to it again, and I heard his words. I listened a third time, and I understood.
Recognize, he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That is the new definition of greatness... and everybody can be great, because everybody can serve...
You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love, and you can be that servant.
Dr. King, your passion lives and continues today. Thank you.

It was Dr. King and Mother Teresa who inspired the idea that we do not reach our potential as humans until we are serving others. I really don't believe anyone is let off that hook, either. I don't believe that service is for some and not others. Every instance of God calling a human and giving him or her an assignment has to do with them serving or helping other humans. Every single time. Right down to his Son. Help Each Other.
