Less

It is the acceptance of the mess you are, and the simplicity of His Grace. That is what makes Him special, unique...God. His ability to make sense of your mess.

It really is okay to desire Jesus,  yet feel as though you don't desire Him enough. That is what keeps you searching for Him. It is what makes Him even more desirable, His ability to draw you in, close and sure.

It is okay to be less and be made less. Yet it is another thing to live in the state of less. Because the act of making ME really me, requires letting go.

And to let go, means losing control, and losing control means stepping back, stepping down. And to step back and step down means swallowing your pride.

And who can swallow their pride like Christ swallowed His. "..He did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the HUMBLE position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on the a cross." Philippians 2:6-8


Only the one who knows that Christ must become GREATER AND GREATER and they must become less and less.


Jesus I want to become less and less so You can become GREATER and GREATER. May I no longer feed myself, but feed the Spirit. Amen
