Learning to be nothing

I thought that was an appropriate title.

I've been examining my life the past few weeks (not a bad thing to do from time to time), and I find myself desiring to be reduced. As I get older and I start thinking of what kind of legacy I'll leave behind when God calls me home, I find myself wanting to be known for one thing, the only thing that truly matters:

He loved God.

Just like a reduction in cooking, moisture is boiled off, leaving a more concentrated product behind. My prayer is that, as God works out this process in my life, that the end result would be a life marked by the unmistakable aroma of Christ.
