This verse is so familiar that sometimes we quote it without giving it real thought: “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). But when these words can be spoken in true sincerity of heart, they mark the difference between an egocentric and a Christ-centered life.

But what if I told you that the key to navigating these storms lies in something you already possess?
