Unworthy

I have been challenged the past several weeks by some words. 

"In the same way, when you obey me, you should say, "We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty."

In my black & white mind, I agree wholeheartedly. I confess, though, in my flesh, I want more. I want people to see what I've done "for" God and pat me on the back. I really look forward to that time when God says, "well done." 

I have written that book that I believe God told me to. It's all but on Amazon. 

My mind and my heart are at war. I want to see people read it and whatever God's purposes for it happen. I want to see people learn the simplicity of loving Christ and living for Him. And I want to appear on stages. I'm not sure about sitting with Oprah, but I'd love to see it make a big splash. 

Does that conflict with the thought of "I only did my duty"?
