It has to increase! I need more, I can not go on with this being this way it has to be more.
Have you ever wanted something so bad that it consumed your very life? Have you ever though about something all the time, that it completely takes all of your energy and time and strength?
Money is usually the thing we put in this place, we need more because the bills are mounting and we have to get the new TV, and a stereo system with surround sound. Or my kids need a new bed and clothes, and wouldn’t it be nice to get them that new toy they have been asking for…
Is this really what our lives are about? Getting more so we can need more, so we can find a way to work more, so we spend less time with our families, because they need more than I can give, so I have to do something to get more so I can give them more…….
Our lives become a run on sentence that never ends, because the cycle keeps turning back on itself. When is enough enough? When do our lives hit that magic break point when we have finally arrived?
Or what really needs to increase? John the Baptist said “He must increase and I must decrease.” Jesus must increase and I must decrease. The only thing we need to increase is the amount of Jesus we have. How do we do this, by letting go.
Just let go of the worries and the troubles. Let go of your joys and the wonderful blessings in your life. Let go of everything and believe that God is walking with you and loves you more than His own life. (this is true He did die on a cross for you!)
So trust God that He is with you and guides you through life. Let Him increase and the rest will fall into place.
