More of you... less of me.

Hm... just hearing those words, I'm like... huh?? I guess this is what is on my mind for now. Isn't it so funny that we say that? It's feels so American. Now don't crucify me for thinking this, but it's just how I feel today. It's like God, none of me, all of you that way I don't have to do anything, and you just do it. It's like healing... well and lots of other stuff... We pray all the time for people who are sick, but Jesus told us to go heal the sick... but then people are like, "Yeah, but we don't heal the sick... He does." [right, He just left that part out.] It's like if we had a boss that told us to go get copy paper, then 15 minutes later he comes back to us and is like, "Hey where's the copy paper??..." and we're like, "Oh boss, wouldest thou goeth into thine closet and getest thine copy paper..." How long would anyone have there job? I dunno.

I suppose that was a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously. We make it so difficult. God says, "Go heal the sick." Yet we try and find someone else to, and then get made when it's not done the way we want. I mean, me too! I'm guilty. But, with the more of you less of me stuff, it's like... hm.... if God didn't want you He wouldn't have made you. Sure I want Him to increase, but I don't need to decrease. When He increases I realize how much He desires me and wants me fully, and then I increase. When I understand what He looks like my confidence automatically increases because we were made in His image.

I love when people, myself included, knock themselves. I do it all the time. It's so infuriating. We're basically kicking Jesus wherever our weakness is. We shouldn't have the ability to demean ourselves. We didn't create us. He created us, and Jesus stood in as a model for the portrait. I know, I know, won't that make us an arrogant people, and totally take away from God and make it all about us??? Well, let's see... you paint a picture... does it glorify the artist if I demean it's colors and value? Probably not so much. Huh.

Anyway, I'm first guilty, so take a number. But that thought is running a million miles in my head. I think I just told someone I'm so stupid, lol, how perfect. But I'm not stupid really. The truth is I'm a daughter of the King, and heir to the throne. I'm amazing and incredible, and can do ALL things. I'm more than a conquerer, and My Dad owns cattle on 1,000 hills. We seriously look at actors and actresses with such awe, and get so starstruck, but in reality the world should be starstruck. We have the King of all Kings as a Father... ...and we're heirs to that same eternal throne. Huh.

Well. I'm done rambling. You get the point.
