Greater and Less - A Sermon (John 3:30)

Jesus asks this

of us,

let My light

outshine your shadows,

let My will

hold more importance

than yours.

I stand for myself

often,

plotting my course

to some perceived comfort and fame.

Yet Jesus asks

to be greater

as we evolve into less.

Jesus asks this

of us,

allow Him a chance to guide,

a chance to lay His footprints

before ours,

through the sands

of our worries.

Know we cannot stand

without Him.

We are to lay down our pride

and our desires of personal glory.

Then He will gain greatness

in our hearts,

as we become less.
