He must become greater; I must become less

Posted on 11/28/2015 by GettingCloserToOurGod

A Hong Kong friend once explained how he strives every day to increase God and decrease himself. What good advice.

John 3:30 (NIV)

30 “He must become greater; I must become less.”

The same advice here from John the Baptist.
Here are several translations of John 3:30

About GettingCloserToOurGod

This blog is written by Todd Christenson. He was raised in Nebraska and currently lives on Long Island in New York. Though out my childhood, my family attended church. We prayed together at meals. I thought I was prepared for life. After college, I moved to New York City. Shy, unsure of myself, building an identity in worldly things, increasingly prideful, self-righteousness, a controlling nature. In 2013, God spoke through someone, suggesting I confess my sins. I did. I realized that every day, I’d been glorifying myself, not God. Today, God’s teaching me to have my identity in Him, only, my dependency in Him, not myself, being who He wants me to be, not the world, loving Him first, loving others as myself.
