We Must Decrease

I think John summed up our relationship with Christ perfectly. In John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease." Notice the emphasis on the second "must". I didn't put it there, that's how it is in the Bible. There's a difference between just believing in Jesus and being totally committed to living our life FOR Jesus. satan believes in Jesus and knows he exists. Everything we think and do should be for the Glory of God. Our wants and desires should become what Jesus wants and desires. We should strive to hate the things God hates and love the things God loves. Can we do that? As our faith grows, I think it becomes easier. As we start to totally submit our lives to Jesus we truly start to see the ways of this world for what they are. We start to realize that what this world has to offer is nothing compared to the love and grace of Jesus. What we want doesn't matter, only the Will of God matters. To do his will, that's all that matters while we're on this Earth. "He must increase, but I must decrease".

Sometimes I wish i could turn myself off completely. Sometimes I just get in my own way. Trying to "do it" without it being in my heart first. That covers a lot of things. I have found that preparing is key. Get up and prepare to serve God tomorrow. Prepare for worship on Sunday. Prepare to witness and ask for the opportunities. I think when we prepare we get closer to God. When we get closer to God, our humanism simply gets overpowered and we decrease. At least that's what seems to work for me. Probably worth trying for someone else. Thanks Russ, your blogs really are speaking loudly lately. God is blessing you for sure.

God has blessed me with three wonderful children Christina, Mary and Jake and a beautiful wife Teresa. I'm not a preacher, just an everyday guy with the desire to share Jesus Christ.
