Let me get this straight, your goal is to glorify yourself? If I am understanding your analogy the artist is God and we are the performers. Am I correct? You know where you are and where you go thus you have already made your choice and chosen your path, so be it. I already figured as much. Just know that not everyone on this forum is spiritually blind. We will bring things to the light as the LORD reveals. You know the difference between God's servants and satan's? God's one don't need to testify of themselves, the Holy Spirit does that for them. And we lift up God and not ourselves. Besides I don't see the point in lifting ourselves up when our goal is to be with Jesus. It's his glory and not ours. Do not steal his glory.
