He must increase, but I must decrease

He must increase, but I must decrease - John 3:30.           

             God gives grace to the humble. God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble - James 4:6. Let our attitude be the same as Christ. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross - Philippians 2:8. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls - Mathew 4:14.

              Paul counted all things as loss and rubbish to gain Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ - Philippians 3:8. To me, to live is Christ and to die is gain - Philippians 1:20.          

             May we decrease and God increase in our lives. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me - Galatians 2:20. In God we boast all day long - Psalm 44:8.

                                                              

PRAYER: May we decrease and You increase in our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
