Louie Giglio's i am not but i know I AM
John the Baptist said it right in the verse above. He must become greater and I must become less! It is such an easy thought, yet such a hard concept. Because of our sinful flesh, we struggle to let ourselves go and focus on Him. We want to get the glory, to be in the center of attention, to stand in the spotlight. What John speaks of in this passage is that his ministry must decrease so that Christ's ministry can explode. Are we willing to step into the background so that Christ can be the star in our life?
Louie's book speaks to the same thought. Recognizing that Christ needs so be not only greater, but everything! He is the star of the story. He's been in every scene throughout all of history. As Giglio says, we are just small players. We are extras. Sounds harsh, but really, how dare we think we are the center of all this. God always was, is, and will be. We are a blip on the radar.
The amazing thing is that He wants to include us in the story. He has a part for us to play. Are we willing to step into that role? Are we willing to understand that He must become greater and we must become less? Are we ready to step into His story and shine the light on Him instead of ourselves?
