“Whatever gain I had, I counted
as loss for the sake of Christ.”
PHILIPPIANS 3:7 ESV
The Lord will allow Self to run its due course, just like the tree whose branches fill the earth and
whose height reaches to the heavens (Daniel 4:10-12). But a day of judgment is coming.
Now,
those who love Self will hate judgment; but those who hate Self will
love judgment. If our heart is “not I, but Christ,” then we will rejoice
whenever we are decreased and Christ is increased. We will submit to
the Lord’s dealings with us. Our focus will not be on what Self loses,
but on what Christ gains, for our loss is His gain.
