True Motives!

John 3:25-30
"Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purification. And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.” John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full. He must increase, but I must decrease."

"JOHN'S FOCUS WAS SET ON JESUS' FULFILLMENT OF MESSIAHSHIP!"

"JOHN PURPOSED IN HIS HEART TO BUILD GOD'S KINGDOM, NOT HIS OWN!"

"HENCE, IT BECAME VERY EASY FOR HIM TO STEP ASIDE WHILE JESUS ACCOMPLISHED HIS WILL ON EARTH!"

Question of the Day:
"ARE WE WITH GOD OR AGAINST HIM?"

The true motives of our heart will be known by whether or not:
"WE FIND JOY IN WITNESSING THE LORD WORK THROUGH US & OTHERS!"
"OR IF WE FEEL WE SHOULD BE THE ONES GETTING THE RECOGNITION THAT BELONGS TO THE BRIDEGROOM!"
