Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse: John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease." (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: Less of Me

In most of my troubles, I find that my biggest problem is me. This excerpt from a hymn by Charles H. Gabriel (1906) makes a great little prayer for asking the Lord to increase in us, that we might decrease:

More Like the Master

More like the Master I would ever be,
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do.

More like the Master is my daily prayer;
More strength to carry crosses I must bear;
More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in;
More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.

More like the Master I would live and grow;
More of His love to others I would show;
More self-denial, like His in Galilee,
More like the Master I long to ever be.

Makes me think of the question from the 12 x 12 that god nudged me to place in my kit of spiritual tools...[which I admit I truly need to utilize a lot more often]....

pausing to ask myself..."WHAT WOULD THE MASTER DO?"
