Thank you. These two instructions from Jesus are, as you say, seemingly in contradiction, but for me the key lies in the focus. I begin to misstep every time I find the focus shifting to myself. God alone deserves our full attention and the direction of our thoughts, words, and deeds.

A lesson in humility. It is not about us, it is about Him. We are only vessels for His work, a lamp to shine His light if He so chooses.
