He must increase, but I must decrease.
Today's Thought: The glory of God is our priority and nothing else.
People around us want to be at the top. There are thousands of tips on how to gain attention or how to stand out in a ground. In fact, our culture dictates how we treat those who had accomplish more in life than those who don't. There is nothing wrong in big ambitions and dreams as well in succeeding, but it should not be our ultimate goal.
John the Baptist was a famous preacher of his day. Multitude would come to hear him speak on repentance and faith in the Messiah. But when Jesus started His ministry, John followed Him. John understood the meaning of the glory of God.
F.B. Meyer would say: The only hope of a decreasing self is an increasing Christ. We can never become what God intends us to be unless we lose ourselves in Christ.
