On Your Knees You Become Great

The merciful are quiet They are not conspicuous and do not attract the attention of others. They don't make a lot of fuss. They don't aspire for fame. They bow and bend down to those who need them. They stand with the poor and needy. They are near them, not above them. They make them stand erect in their dignity as human beings in the honest and upright stature in the image of God. The merciful are quiet. They don't desire for a position. They like to be with the poor and the rejected. The kingdom of God roots itself in them. In them the kingdom of God will grow The human being is never so great as when he is on his knees.
