Decrease

Let God be in control

Everyone is perfect in his or her own way.  We all do things in way, we each feels is good. However, what we may thing is good, another find faults. Or we ourselves, sometimes thinks we do things better than someone else. Our eyes are quick to find faults and point out the mistakes of others. Yet, we cannot see our own faults. However, we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. For it is a fact, that none of us is perfect, it is ONLY God, who is, the perfect man. He is blameless and spotless. We can try our best to do thing the correct way, yet there will always be mistakes. When you are rigid, and believe that everything has to be your way or the highway. Then, you will be on that highway by yourself. In order for God to use us, we must decrease, so that he may increase.

Decrease your ability and allow God to increase his. This way all that you do, will be perfect in his eyes. You will be able to help others because you no longer see their faults, but you see their needs. We all try our best. Let’s encourage each other, instead of putting each other down, by point out faults and mistakes.  Every man does according to his own ability.  The Bible said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. (Mathew 7:1-5). Amen

Remember none of us is perfect. As saying goes don’t throw stones at glass house when you live in a glass house. I have faults as well, but daily I allow, God to turn my faults around. I pray that others may not see my faults, but see Christ. Likewise, I ask God daily, to see the needs of others and not their faults. Look, we are all work in progress, but, let us work together and do thing Christ way. Be blessed.
