Though I feel super small at times, this truth (stated by Oswald Chambers' in his book So Send I You, 1325 R) lifts me up and carries me through!
We are all based on a conception of importance, either our own importance, or the importance of someone else; Jesus tells us to go and teach based on the revelation of His importance. "All power is given unto Me.… Go ye therefore …."
Matthew 28:18-20 (New Living Translation)
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

This is so true! We do what is important to us or for us. When we should be teaching others the IMPORTANCE of having a relationship with Jesus. some times we want to think of ourselves as bigger than we really are...
