When I start out with Jesus,
in my heart.
I put him above everything.
I put him above everyone,
but I did not give up,
my immediate lifestyle.
I was dangerously close,
to putting myself before Jesus.
Now I know,
that He must increase,
as I myself decrease.
I must humble myself more,
as I exalt the Lord more.
I must let the space grow larger,
between Christ Jesus and me,
while putting Him in front.
That way, no dark force can separate us.
Nothing can come between us.
The more in front,
Christ Jesus is,
the better that I can see Him -
the better that I can follow Him -
the more I know,
that I am on the right path,
and the more I know,
that I am doing the Lord's work.

- Comment from author about the poem: Part of this piece was actually taken from the gospel of John. As we grow in Christ, we must learn to never stop humbling ourselves as our exalting in Christ becomes even more. - He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all. - John 3:30-31 - Grow in Christ. Persistence is Key

A fine write Forever.
Good Evening ZION ~ Thanks for this Poem ~ AWESOME. Our interpretation is that as we grow more Christlike ~ in our everyday lives (not just on a Sunday) people will see less of us (we must decrease !) and more of JESUS ( HE MUST INCREASE !) ~ AMEN. Thnaks for caring !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
