A few comments about Paul...

Ephesians 3:8-10

 ⁸To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, ¹⁰so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

Just a few comments:

I love that Paul, even though he has written most of the New Testament, considers himself "the very least of all the saints." More of us need to take that position.

I love that he considers his role in God kingdom a "grace [that] was given." His role as an apostle and all of the suffering that went along with it was an unmerited favor bestowed on him by God. More of us need to take that position.

I love that Paul's goal is to make God's plan known in all he does to everyone he can. Even though he is the least of all saints, he does not consider it intimidating to bring the gospel message, the wisdom of God, to rulers and authorities. More of us need to take that position.
