Child, I am not a performance-based God. You do not earn My love for I freely give it to you.
Lord, I did nothing yesterday, accomplished nothing today. I know I have a higher purpose than that. Would You forgive me yet again for my failures to honor You? I so want to please You.
Child, it is yourself you want to please, pride in self-accomplishments. Child, you push yourself to accomplish. Then you beat yourself up when you don’t meet your own goals.
Know ye not after all these years of your time that I am a God of love, peace, and joy, not accomplishments.
Well Lord, what do I do? What is it you want from me?
Child, I want your love, not your performance. After all, I am not a performance-based God.
Lord, I do love You.
Then Child, feed My sheep.
But Lord, I don’t understand. Isn’t “Feed My sheep” accomplishment driven?
No, My child, it is only sharing My love to others. It is giving My love to others.
So, Lord, how do I do that? What is the difference between sharing Your love and seeking to accomplish the sharing of Your love to others?
Child, as you pray and seek My guidance, I will lead you. Then you will know how to share My love with others. But remember I am not a performance-based God.
For instance, on one hand, as you set your own goals and strive to accomplish, that is performance driven. Then on the other hand, as you seek My will and follow, or rather, submit to My will, that is Holy Spirit inspired sharing My love to others.
There is a difference. It may be a fine line, but there is a difference. The best way to spread My love is to remain Holy Spirit inspired. But your human way is for self-gratification and pride in accomplishments.
So, Lord, how can I stay Holy Spirit inspired. How do I get that?
Spend more of your time in My Presence, not your social media.
Yes Sir. Help me break free from this stronghold of self-sufficiency and performance driven. Help me to focus My life on Your Presence. Because I want to stay and breathe in Your Presence. Thank you, Lord, for talking with me.
