More of You!

Listen to this song called "More of You" by Colton Dixon:






A great song for all of us followers of Jesus. It is based off of this scripture:



John 3:27-30

27 John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.’ 29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”



John the Baptist did what God called him to do and that was to prepare the way for Jesus. Now Jesus was on the scene and John knew it was Jesus who was to be growing in peoples lives and John was to decrease in the public eye. We can take this into our own lives as the song shared. When we become followers of Jesus, our lives are then to proclaim Jesus in every area, and self is to take a back seat to the service of our King Jesus! so the statement "more of You, and less of me" becomes a statement of who Jesus is to us...Our Lord!



This part of the song is so true of all of us:



I made my castle tall

I built up every wall

This is my kingdom and it needs to fall

I want You and no one else

Empty me of myself

Until the only thing that's left is

more of You and less of me!



Think on that for a while today and then determine if you are making more of Jesus in your life or more of yourself!
