Power Meant to Serve

Power was never meant to be a throne, but a towel and a basin. It’s not proven by how many obey, but by how many are lifted. The only real weight of power is the burden of care, the quiet strength to kneel when the world tells you to rule. We weren’t called to be impressive, but to be useful. To hold doors open, to see the unseen, to remember that greatness is borrowed, and it always comes due in kindness. Because authority without compassion is just noise, and leadership without love is just ego wearing holy clothes. The only power worth keeping is the kind that bends low, that washes feet, that serves even when unseen, that knows: the crown only fits if your heart is bowed.
