"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.
