I am here, Jesus.
Let me channel a message, as I see you lack clarity.
You have heard many times that spiritual seers have advocated
making the self nothing to achieve a high spiritual state. But you
also know that human beings are God's highest creations. So where
is the truth?
The truth is that a person has free will, and can choose to humble
himself or herself or not.
Does this mean one has to deny to oneself a great achievement
one has accomplished? Definitely not!
You have learned that orthodox Christianity is wrong when it debases
people. This means that it is entirely appropriate to acknowledge
oneself when one has accomplished something significant, whether
that be a victory over oneself or anything valuable that is in harmony
with His Will.
The attitude of giving love to another, in whatever form it takes,
is by nature a renunciation of the self, that is, of the selfish
ego, which only wants to consider itself.
Your confusion arose because you thought the concept was to deny
one's being when doing an act of love. This confusion arose because
for centuries, orthodox Christianity has taught that the self is
bad and depraved.
So what I am implying is that a genuine act of self-sacrificing
love should elevate someone in that own person's eyes, instead of
denying one's own goodness.
Seen without the smokescreen that orthodox Christianity has erected,
you can see how an act of love can benefit the giver by giving that
loving soul a better feeling toward oneself.
