Servants Doing Our Duty
10/14/2014
“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’? 8 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’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 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.’” 9:04 am
Years Later...
What Jesus said in Luke 17:10 is very much like what Mary said: “be it done to me according to your word”.
What Jesus was saying was you don’t deserve credit for ANYTHING.
How do you increase your faith? Stop looking for credit for how well you are doing! You are just an unprofitable servant doing your duty.
That’s the Mary heart. If there’s a place for the Messiah living inside of you like he was literally in Mary aka Mariam, it’ll be because you’re not looking for credit or having expectations for yourself. Just lay down your life fully as Jesus said in the scripture. Ironically, it’s an answer to the question: how do I have faith, what does it mean to have and increase faith? Do you want that really, says Yesu? Then… DON’T TRY TO GET RECOGNITION OR INCLUSION OR SATISFACTION OR COMPARE TO OTHERS. 6:02 p.m.
