John 3 - He above Me
John 3:30 – “He must
increase, but I must decrease.”
When circumstances turn my attitude
sour,
I increase.
When I respond with His gracious
power,
He increases.
When I think only of what I feel or want,
I increase.
When I put others’ needs at the
forefront,
He increases.
When I sulk inside and those thoughts
hold sway,
I increase.
When I praise His goodness anyway,
He increases.
When all I see is what is wrong,
I increase.
When I count my blessings all day
long,
He increases.
When I resign to temptation’s pull,
I increase.
When I by faith choose to follow His
rule,
He increases.
When fear, frustration, or anger loom large,
I increase.
When Jesus in all His glory takes charge,
He increases.
And those decisions never cease:
Will I increase?
Will He increase?
