Don't raise me up, I am but a messenger.

Jimi Hendrix
About This Quote

The Bible is full of stories that show the need for humility. For example, Jesus was not God himself, but he was a messenger sent by God. It’s important to never forget this fact. We are sent by God to do specific things in specific ways.

But when you take on the role of being a messenger, it means your job is to tell people what they need to know or do. You don’t have the power to decide what they should know or how they should act.
