Matthew 8:8-9 8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”...

This centurion had had all the earthly status we could want. He was respected, had authority, money, power, and probably a great credit score :). But when he approached Jesus he had all that mattered... faith and humility. At that moment he showed compassion for his servant, humbled himself before God and asked for help because he knew all the stuff in the world didn't matter at that point. How much do you lean on your 'stuff' to make you happy or your 'status' to get you what you want? You may impress the world but the owner of the world is not. Let's follow the example of the centurion and have a blessed day!
