daily word - reputation?

Do you have a reputation? Is it important to you to maintain it? I made myself of no reputation in this world even though I could have claimed greatness. I led a simple life and did not seek offices or titles or wealth. Do you think of me as the Son of God? But I called myself the Son of man. John the Baptist had the right idea when he said that he must decrease that I might increase. But did I seek to increase? I said that the poor in spirit were blessed for the Kingdom of Heaven was theirs. There has been much speculation about what this means, but the poor in spirit do not need to defend their reputations.
