Building up, Breaking down -- #1268

What is to be said for the state of the World?

Have you lost hope, that all is lost, that somebody better fix it?

Are you offering to help Me fix it?

Great.  So what do you think would be/should be your first task?

To point out to others their folly and how they should correct them.

It is always so, so easy to point out and go on and on about the mistakes and wrongdoings of others.

Does that make it easier for us not to have to look at ourselves, through My Eyes?

You see, in some cases when we look at ourselves we feel pretty proud of what we have done and are doing.

Yet others will look at themselves and feel miserable for they fear they have done nothing great and grand.

In one case you build up your ego.

In the other you tear yourself apart as being so unworthy.

Do you see the devils hands in both of these??

One making you feel you are far better than many others.

The other that you are the worst of the worst.

Do you see God at all in any of these scenarios?

Of course you don’t because in both cases it is all about the “you”.

How can God get your attention when you are so, so focused on “you” --- either in building your “self” up or breaking your “self” down.

God wants to be ALL to you, but that can’t happen till you turn the All of you over to Him.

Easy to say yes, but not always easy to do because the ego craves to be fed. 

And both are connected to the ego --- building up and breaking down!

And you thought it was only building up that satisfies one’s ego, but the ego also thrives on beating yourself up.

Did you know that?  Did you realize that?

In both cases you are talking about, centered on “you”.
