He must increase, but I must decrease. What is this? He must be exalted, but I must be humbled. How is Jesus to increase? How is God to increase? The perfect does not increase. God neither increases nor decreases. For if He increases, He is not perfect; if He decreases, He is not God. And how can Jesus increase, being God?… This is a great mystery! Before the Lord Jesus came, people were glorifying themselves; He came as a man to lessen human glory and to increase the glory of God…. For this is what the apostles says, this is what holy scripture says: “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” Will you glory in yourself? You will grow; but you will grow worse in your evil. For whoever grows worse is justly decreased. Let God, then, who is ever perfect, grow and grow in you. For the more you understand God and apprehend Him, He seems to be growing in you; but in Himself He does not grow, being always perfect. – St. Augustine
