Less Is More

“YOU must become greater, I must become less.” (John 3:30)

God, Son of God, the Christ, the Man – Jesus of Nazareth is all in all and it is said in the gospel of John 3:30.

When is having less a greater achievement than an abundance? The majority would respond, “Never!” And, “never” would be the correct response for all who are of this world. In today’s collapsing economy, the majority is in great woe. The affect of the less is like the withdrawals by the addicted. The “fix” is their only desire, their “one thing” that will bring more to their existence. The worldly being is attached to the more. It will take a miracle to reverse it. He is risen! (Mark 16:6) The miracle already happened. The world did not receive and therefore “less is more” has no place for them. The apostle Paul achieved greatness with less and he wears a crown today. Have you discovered the mystery of less is more? Listen to Jesus and follow Him.

Grateful to YOU, Oh Father, my God and Lord ... cleanse me, fill me, empower me to stand firm through humility and with great patience.

As we contemplate our “More and Less” standing as the holidays begin, let us put our eyes on Jesus to lead us to HIS more and our less. Great peace awaits each of us.
