Excellent devil joke!
I suspect that...@William - <br /><br />Excellent devil joke!<br /><br />I suspect that serving God isn't ever really a 'feeble' thing, because what we are each supposed to do is usually something very distinctive - that only we personally can do. Of course it may be unimpressive to 'other people' if we tried to explain or justify ourselves, but that doesn't make it genuinely feeble. What may be genuinely epic on the spiritual plane, may be pathetically insignificant by a materialist analysis... no matter either way. <br /><br />The easiest is probably not to explain it to others except when these are loved and trusted others - then the question of feebleness doesn't come up. I reached this conclusion after years of trying to explain to 'bosses' why I wouldn't do x, y, or z and insisted on doing something else. <br /><br />The explanation was *never* accepted, so in the end I used to say as much ('you will not agree with me, so I will not waste our time explaining'), and (politely) that I had religious reasons (unspecified) and so I Would Not do it unless or until I was compelled; and/or I Would Continue to do it unless or until I was prevented. <br /><br />At any rate, for modern people, one of the first things needed to to start working from the real self, thinking from the real self etc - rather than working on autopilot from superficial selves programmed in by 'society'.

The only people God can use are those who have no interest in power or success (or money, of course). They do not want to create a new way of being that others can copy. They do not want personal validation in that others gravitate to them and listen to them. They just love God and want to serve him to their best of their rather feeble ability.<br /><br />There is a saying that the devil once saw a man get hold of a piece of truth. "That's bad luck for us" a fellow fiend remarked. "Not at all" said the devil.
