You aren’t an obstacle God needs to remove; you’re the instrument He chose to live through. That means honoring God isn’t about getting smaller, quieter or more invisible. It’s not about praying, “more of You and less of me.” It’s about believing what He’s already done in you. That’s not self‑denial, but trust. Trust that your heart is new. Trust that grace didn’t just forgive you, it remade you. Trust that Jesus is expressing Himself through you.
