John the Baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease” John 3:30.  Humility of John?  Yes!   Nearing completion of his mission as forerunner?  Yes!  Yet, there is more!  This is to be a pattern for our lives!   After we begin our walk with Jesus we learn that all we are has to be surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus.  He has an ever increasing place in us.  Self is put in its place.  Humility is more real.  Our agenda fades in favor of His.  We are called to this surrender.  With it He is completing the work He began in us.
