Magnify the Lord, Diminish Yourself

“If you cannot magnify God, it probably is because you are magnifying yourself. May the Lord cut self down and make nothing of you, and then you will make everything of him. When you sink in your own estimation, then will God rise in your esteem.”
Charles Spurgeon, 1880
The Key-Note of a Choice Sonnet

 


Good morning, Lord. I want to understand, as John the Baptist did, that You must increase and I must decrease
(John 3:30). Teach me to let go of my worldly desires and embrace Your eternal truth. I want to honor You above all else, to live for Your glory and not my own.
