You’ve likely heard the phrase “less is more”. The originator of this simple phrase is unknown. I would argue that the principle of “less is more” can be traced back to God. Cover to cover the Bible is chalked full of examples where God invites His creation to detach from what is temporary in order to gain what is eternal. Jesus put it this way: “If you want to be my follower (aka, if you want me), he must deny himself…What does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life?” Embracing a life of wholehearted decrease will add health to your soul and depth to your relationship with Jesus. Now is the time to decrease in order to increase.
