“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
John the Baptist knew his role: point to Jesus, not to himself. That clarity is rare — and freeing.
John spoke these words with his joy made full. Decreasing is not losing; it is finding your right place.
When the sun rises, the morning star is not defeated — it has done its work. Let Christ outshine you today.
Humility redirects attention. In every conversation today, ask yourself: am I pointing to myself or to Him?
Christ increases in us through small daily surrenders: an opinion yielded, credit passed on, a silence chosen.
Act: before breakfast, read John 3:27-30 and name one area of your life where the spotlight shifts to Jesus today.
