I certainly do agree with ...Thanks for stopping by. I certainly do agree with your prayer also. Significance and success, according to the world, are the same thing... yet success isn't self-significance as they think, but Christ's glory.<BR/><BR/>I do think this prayer grows less difficult the more Christ radiates through life, though. Not that it ever becomes easier to release self, but that Christ-likeness brings joy Kareneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667837296400065844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-26330438544593644642008-01-02T17:52:00.000-08:002008-01-02T17:52:00.000-08:00If I pray that, I know it has already been answere...If I pray that, I know it has already been answered.<BR/>And I hate it, too.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-58885668199919112672008-01-02T10:19:00.000-08:002008-01-02T10:19:00.000-08:00oops!

Because that is what is best for us.<BR/><BR/>You said,"...but then he reserved his greatest words for after the time when John would hear them."<BR/><BR/>I'd say rather that Jesus did give His greatest words to John. A puffed head would do nothing to help John in his situation. What John really needed was to remember who Christ was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185060505158684073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-7710473358334299612008-01-02T07:40:00.000-08:002008-01-02T07:40:00.000-08:00Nannykim, I mean insignificant in the world's eyes...Nannykim, I mean insignificant in the world's eyes. In my ministry, I mean exactly what you said about me decreasing and Christ decreasing. The reason I chose that word is because of my personal struggle and desire to be significant.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-76974597334415683022008-01-02T05:55:00.000-08:002008-01-02T05:55:00.000-08:00I do not know about the insignificant part---I wou...I do not know about the insignificant part---I would pray more like--God let me be a servant. And may you increase and I decrease-----I think that we are not insignificant because we have a purpose and glorifying God is not insignificant.
