“…the friend…of the Bridegroom…
who standeth and heareth Him…
rejoiceth greatly…
because of the bridegroom’s voice;
this my joy, therefore, is fulfilled…” John 3:29 AKJV
“…He must increase, but I must decrease…” John 3:30 AKJV
Your voice speaks to us through acts, through actions, we witness being done… one on behalf of another.
These acts we witness Father, the Voice we hear, speak of loving kindness… be the act small or great… a real life saver or a simple help to ease an otherwise mundane, or… inconvenient, or… difficult circumstance.
It’s difficult to decrease the storehouses of our lives to provide an increase into another’s.
Sometimes we may not rejoice at the Voice we are hearing because of the difficulty…and we suffer conviction… it will cost us and we don’t want that… we may do nothing but feel jealousy… all of a sudden there is no joy…
and even if we do act, the act is an empty one.
No one else knows.
But we do.
And so, in our hearts, we do not experience… “this my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.”
Your ways are not the world’s ways Father.
Gaining may come in loosing…
Receiving may come in giving...
Because it pleases You...
may it please us to do things from that point of view...
and joyfully so.
“…by this shall all men know that ye are My disciples…
if ye have love one to another…”
Your voice we hear and rejoice in.
Forever our prayer …
May we decrease Father…
and You increase…
May You be glorified…
in Yeshua’s name we pray…
Amen.
