One night, I was reflecting on the topic of Self- Recognition. Then these words boldly came to my attention. Date: 17.10.22. Time: 10:33pm. It reads the following:
Prize_ Galardón
Public notary to give importance. A stamp of validation. A shewing as proof that what was done, indeed happened through the prize winner.
Prize = A stamp of insecurity to prove one’s security in something.
A successful act never needs a stamp of reassurance to prove what it already is. A successful act never needs a prize to tell one that they were indeed successful.
In other words, you don’t need a prize to tell you who you already are. It will most certainly show.
Idol= formed by human hands, giving false validation and worship to something or someone.
Jesus came unto earth knowing that He was already King. His role tried and tested and proved perfect in His ways. His reward to the throne is with Him in heaven, awarding unto Him, all eternal and everlasting reign and authority on earth as it is in heaven.
I tell you then: Do not grow attached to the award, prize, earning, invitation, praise etc. put unto you, in fear that one becomes potentially limited by the value that one places on the said item, thus making an idol out of that said item, while deceivingly being mysteriously led into a great spell of depression after having won the prize, to ultimately land one into a deep sleep.
Whatever is to be received, never can it equal the value of the potential for growth that far exceeds the value of the item awarded. Perhaps one may view it as a marker or a milestone, yet still there is much further to go.
You bring the value to the table. Do not lose sight of this, much like that found with the scenario of the chicken and the egg. You bring meaning to the award, but only in that specific moment in time. Never grow attached. Never. For it is quite momentary. Still, you keep working.
Conversely, a lack of award, also awards you greater understanding to value oneself more than any award can ever do. Does the tree ever depend on receiving tree-made reward for releasing the oxygen that it gives? I think not, lest we be already non-existent. For the tree already receives its reward from the good Lord that speaks life to it and provides it with everything that it needs to continue providing the oxygen that is released into the atmosphere quite naturally. Equally so, must we acknowledge what has been already handed to us. For these gifts, that is to give, for our portion, we receive what the good Lord has in store for us, such that we can still continue to give.
You know who you are. You do not need worldly prizes to validate this point. Leave that much for the world. In fact, the opposite is true and the world already knows this.
There is greater reliance then, on the belief of self, when there is nothing else to place greater value. Therefore, I tell you, never trade in the belief of self with a mere artifact. For self-belief is worth so much more. But true self comes from true God and true Man, who is true Source, ABBA Father.
I thank You Abba Yahweh for this teaching giving You all honour, all glory and all praise in your Holy Name.
Luke 17: 7-10 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded [a]him? I think not. So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”
Sirach 10: 26 Do not feel proud when you have only accomplished your work; do not put on airs when times are difficult for you.
