More Of Him, Less Of Me

When I was a shepherd of the church in the ministry, my daughter Libby asked me: "Dad, are we famous?" I replied, "No, Libby, we "It is not famous." If "There are more people who know us, we will be like this."

Poor Libby! I was only 7 years old and I worked hard with many of us in our lives.

If it has no tendency to replace Jesus as the focus of our attention, our desire for recognition will not be a problem. But it was absorbed by ourselves and made him out of paintings.

Life is not just about us, we can not do about Jesus at all. This shows that Paul 's statement shows that "Thinking that everything was lost to transcend the value of Christ" (3: 8 esv) is strategically important. In the face of the choice between himself and Jesus, Paul deliberately gave up the attention of people, so that Jesus can focus on the understanding and experience of Jesus (7-8, Ten).

For us, the decision is the same. Will we live to draw attention to ourselves? Or will we concentrate more on understanding and experiencing Jesus' privileges more deeply?

I believe that the Lord is with us, so let's apply here spiritually now. He keeps us increasingly inclined to him and decreases my beliefs more and more. But you must be alone, to the mountain of Better, or to part with you. And when you spend time with the Lord, when people see you, will they see something different in your life? Do they see that you lean on the Lord? As Spurgeon said, "Dear, I do not allow him to walk in any other way on any part of the pilgrimage of the saint, but walks diagonally, he came for the first time, and he finally came Still, still leaning, still leaning towards Jesus Christ, Oh, more and more inclined to Christ, he grew up.

First of all, I tried to be him. If you see someone living a happy life after parting, you will wonder why I do not like him more than me. What is my feeling? I will compare all my life with his past lifestyle. However, it is ironic that you do not talk on social media or have friends. So, everything was just "he said," she said, "A game between me and my so-called" information source ". It is very toxic and unhealthy - the worst thing is that I do not feel anything. I have not experienced the same excitement in all activities he participated in. My happiness is just zero. Instead, my life is confusing. Then I decided to try another way.
