The Daily Blueprint for 11-10-07
Less of us - more of Him
JOHN 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
Where does Christ fit in your life? Is He your whole life or just part of your life? If we were to answer honestly -we would all have to admit He is not as much of our lives as He should be. This life in Christ must be life in which we allow Him to increase and ourselves - our needs -our wants to decrease- this is totally against human nature and we cannot do it apart from Him - He must be our life - nothing less! He wants all of us - not just the left overs - We must decrease - He must increase in our lives - I think in this society that feeds us with the lie of this life being about us - has caused even us Christ followers to miss the point of our lives in Christ- we begin to ask what's in it for me - and then the focus begins to shift from Jesus to ourselves - when we say we are followers of Christ- we must truly follow Him at all times - there is no day off for a Christian - He bought us with a price- I have to admit that I have gotten caught up in the selfishness of self -I am a neat freak and I love things to be just so - my wife on the other hands is none of those things! But what we have in common is CHRIST! We must get to the point in our lives where what we want is no longer important and what God wants is ultimately important!
This life is not ours - it belongs to the Creator of all - He must increase while we decrease - not our will but HIS be done! Let there be less of us and more of Him so that the world can see HIS light within our lives!
a side note: We have a bad habit of saying things belong to us -this is not the truth - it all belongs to God and is on loan to us - He made it - and we borrow it! Lets remember its all HIS and not ours -this includes our will!
in CHRIST.................................................we must decrease!
