and all things else recede

O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,

And all things else recede;

My heart be daily nearer Thee,

From sin be daily freed.

Make this poor self grow less and less

Be Thou my life and aim;

Oh, make me daily, through Thy grace,

More worthy of Thy name.

(By Rev. J.C. Lavater in the 1800's)

Something to consider: God wants to redeem every area and aspect of your life. Our Holy Father is preparing us for eternity, and in doing this, "He must increase, but I (we) must decrease" (John 3:30 HCSB)

Let's let God work in our lives and accept His leading with trust and open hearts.

XOXO!
