Preformances of Self

     You have learned the story of the Three, and you have learned all of his word.  You have danced in front of many, and you have bowed before all.  You have known a cause, and you have known a mission.  You are so much, but still you remain nothing.
     For learning is not believing, and knowing is not being.  Preforming is lying, and none lie before the Father.  Though you may believe, and though you may be all that is ment to be, when you begin to preform, all crumble to your feet.
     Even when you are what you have always been meant to be; when you dance and search for your own praise, who do you praise.  If you drive for glory for you to bask in, who do you give glory to.  When you preform to others for their applause, you take what is rightfully the Lord’s.
     Feel free to dance and please do bow, but no more be in front.  Let your voice bellow and throw your hands in the air.  But no more be in the front.  No more keep an eye open to watch as others look at you.  No more dance for the applauding of others.  No more preach a mission, or lecture of the Tree for but the chance to mount the pedestal.
     But please do dance, I even beg you to sing.  Please do share the word, and I beg you to never stop bowing before the Lord.  But no more for show, and no more for glory.  Though they may praise you, bask not in their words.

Their praise is the Fathers, and so is yours.
