Scripture Psalm 149 v4

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;

he adorns the humble with victory.

Observation

The gospel ends with John the Baptist saying 'He must grow greater, I must grow smaller.', but this doesn't mean that God wants us to diminish ourselves. If we allow Christ to grow within us we become the best version of ourselves.

Application

I need to let Christ grow within me, not fearing that that means I will disappear but believing that that is how I can have live in its fullest.

Prayer

Jesus, come into my heart. Heal my wounds, let me make room for you, so that I can become the best version of me. Amen.
