We used to sing a song in church that was “More of Jesus, Less of Me.” While this is a neat saying, and I even like the song, that is not what God actually wants. It would be better sang as “More like Jesus”. God already had the world without you in it, and then He added you to it to make it better.

The best rounded people that I know are people that were just themselves, while walking with Jesus. They say that some people bring out the best in you. Jesus brings out the best in all of us.
