Last year I worked in Caguas, Puerto Rico with an organization called YouthWorks. I lived with three other team members inside a church. I slept on the floor using an air mattress as my bed. Every week a group of teenagers came to Caguas and served the community. During the day they worked and at night we held a little service. The theme for that particular summer was Jesus must become Greater and I must become Less. We told the students that very statement everday but I guess since more than I year has passed since then I have realized that I have stopped living by that statement.
I have recently been struggling with the notion that I have to raise over $15,000. I have been questioning whether or not I should go on the trip, questioning God's will for my life. I took a look at all my bills and totally lost faith. This week I became consumed with ME and MY worries and I totally lost track of what the true purpose of this journey is. Jesus must become Greater and I must become Less! When I begin to loss faith and not trust the Lord with my finances I am no longer allowing Jesus to be greater in my life and I am putting myself and my worries infront of his glory. I know that God will provide simply because he is GREAT!
John 3:30 "He must become greater; I must become less"
