Never seek Grandeur --- #1216

 

#1216   Thurs. Oct. 1/20,    11:30am   sitting in car outside St. Theresa’s church (church not open due to Covid)

O Sweet Jesus you offer us so many opportunities to serve you.  Free me from other distractions that step in the way of me serving You.

I don’t mean that you have to remove all distractions, but I pray that You Grace me to see beyond distractions to Your Most Blessed Way.

Do not let me wander off thinking I am serving you when it is really only my plan for me.  

I don’t mind at all if You show me the True Way.

When you get frustrated is this perhaps because something you planned is not coming to completion?   

Aaah, now you know your frustration is because it is not My Plan for you, because if you ache to serve Me you will never be frustrated if you follow My Way.

It is a great way to see if you have surrendered to Me or only a part of you wishes to serve Me.

Do not get discouraged!   EVER!  

If you ask Me to help you fully surrender, fully Love, I will hear and answer.  

Getting discouraged hints at how you thought I wanted the job done!

Do you see what I mean?

Are you willing to be obedient even in the slightest thing?  

Do not, never seek grandeur because then you will always be expected to feed your pride!

But if I give you an important task, and each of My Tasks is important, do not look for recognition or grandeur.  

Then if you do receive acclaim it will not feed your ego because you were not looking for it!

It is only when we seek acclaim that we either then feed our pride or even worse, we get upset because the elation of others is not enough, so our ego is then offended and you fall deeper and deeper into yourself and what you really need to survive.
