Do not desire signs…desire me. This is the problem with signs, miracles, gifts. Instead of pointing to me, as intended, and sparking your desire to be with me, you focus on the gifts.

Be humble, vigilantly crush pride, that my voice, signs, gifts may flow through you rather than merely to you. Do no make yourself a spectacle. Make a spectacle of me…then your soul will be full and satisfied as I am glorified, and those around you will experience the same.
