He must increase and I must decrease John 3:30
How do I do that?? Only by the Spirit of God is this attainable. I have been meditating on this for the last couple of days and I have come to the conclusion that it simply means, "Die to yourself." I say it all the time, you probably hear it all the time but the act of doing is much harder. It is that little voice (Holy Spirit) that tells you to stop yelling or to stop arguing and then you out of obedience STOP! That is dying to self. It is putting the other person needs or wants ahead of yours. It is not getting your own way! Ouch! It is giving in to your pride and selfish desires. Letting go of all your wants! Really, have you watched a toddler? They are really cute and so fun to be around but if you really watch them you will notice the subtle resemblance of full grown adults wanting their own way. Some of us can hide it a little better but it is there under the surface. Next time you are around a 2 year old take a little more time to really watch them. It is a little scary. But rest assured, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God is working and can change your life!
Praise Jesus!
