about Jesus increasing and you decreasing. No one ever arrives in this life. We all have room to grow& and growing in the Lord simply means that we are becoming more and more like Jesus Christ in two critical areas:</br></font> <br><font color="crimson">1. The Way we Act </font><font color="blue"> Our actions and habits begin to change when we yield control of our life to Christ. We begin to turn from sin and start walking in the path He has for us. When I started to walk with Christ in my late twenties, my life began to change in the areas of speech (I quit cussing and talking His name in vain), weekend activities (I quit shopping for fun and partying), and habits (I started to spend time in prayer, Bible study and church activities). My actions started to change.</br></font> <br><font color="crimson">2. The Way We React</font>  <font color="blue"> This one is much more telling. You and I can more easily control our actions (what we do and where we go)& but our reactions are a different story and truly reveal if He is increasing, and we are decreasing. </br> <br>Think of your life as if it were a tube of toothpaste. When the pressure comes and life begins to put the squeeze on you, what comes out& you or Jesus? Do you go ballistic when you are stressed and things do not go your way& or do you respond the way He would with grace and love and patience and kindness? If your life is filled with Jesus, and He is truly increasing in you and taking over more and more territory in your heart and life, your reactions will be so different than they were before. People notice your actions& but they seriously evaluate the reality of your relationship with Christ based on your reactions.</br></font> <br><font color="crimson">WHAT CAN WE DO?</br></font> <br><font color="blue">Let's begin today to ask the Lord to increase in us so that people would see Jesus and not us. Let's spend time with Him so that His wisdom and His ways penetrate our daily thoughts and activities. Let's remind ourselves that the moment we gave our lives to Jesus, we died (Col.3:3). A dead man has no rights and no agendas, and he controls nothing.</br> <br>Remember, my dear friends, the Lord wants to manifest through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Himself in every place we go (2 Cor. 2:14). Let Him start that today in us! People in our sphere of influence will take note, and Jesus will be glorified!</br></font> <br> <font color="crimson">In His Precious Love <br>Your humble servant,</br></font> A S.
