“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 . “May God who is always perfect grow and increase in you for the more you comprehend Him the more He will appear to increase in you. As for Himself, He does not increase since He is the everlasting Perfection…This is also true of the inner depths of a person for he truly grows in the Lord God who appears increasingly in Him. However, the person himself seems to diminish when he falls away from his own arrogance and establishes the glory of God.” St. Augustine #Hemustincrease #Imustdecrease #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisen
