John 3:30 He must become greater; I must become less.
John and Jesus were both baptizing and people started flocking to be baptized by Jesus. John’s disciples told John that Jesus was baptizing but they seemed jealous, indignant, and upset. They referred to Jesus as “that man,” discounting Jesus’ authority. But John replies that he is not the Christ and that Jesus must become greater and that he must become less.
I want to have a heart like John’s heart. To know that Jesus must become greater in my life and I must become less is the best thing that can happen to us as God’s children. This is my prayer today. I want so badly to feel normal; to have an appetite, to not be tired, to have more energy. But I can’t be all those things. I just can’t. The only way to have a better life is to allow more of Jesus and less of me. What is Jesus doing? Am I allowing Him to do His good work? I must become less. I must place my desires, needs, and wants below Jesus’.
Heavenly Father, I know that You are my healer. I know that You have a purpose for my life. Please help me to become less so You can become greater in my life. Lord, I want all of myself to disappear, and I want all of You to shine through me. Lord, take over my life. I give my life to You. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

That is such a great scripture that we can apply to our life everyday! That was an awesome devo you wrote. I definitely need to have more of Jesus in my life and less of me. We can tend to be so selfish as humans. Thank you so much for sharing your humility and love for Jesus! Btw, how is the pregnancy and everything else going? Love you!
