Less

This is a concept that can be difficult for some people. Our personalities can get in the way.

As we attempt to climb the corporate ladder, we are taught that we have to have great confidence and to put ourselves first in order to be successful. This then tends to take over in our everyday lives.

This thought pattern then also can begin to flow over into our religious lives. That we have to be concerned about ourselves more than others.

This concept of becoming less and making Christ more doesn't seem to fit the mold of today's culture. But when we get out of the way and let Jesus lead the way we become greater than if we tried to lead. By becoming less we actually become more. Sounds backward I know.

It can be tough to do, but I believe that if a person can choose to become a follower in 1 area in the church then that person can begin to train themselves to become less. Then begin to allow Christ to lead you into better things in life.

This is a growing, learning thing for most people. Don't get discouraged, allow God to show you how to put Him first.
