![]() he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." John 14:23 For The Right Reason It is simple to do the right thing for the wrong reason. Our motives are not always pleasing to the Lord. They may sometimes be polluted with selfishness. "What's in it for me?" "Maybe they will help me later!" "I will make a big impression!" Why is it that we try to do God's will? It is not suppose to be done for self-gain or recognition. We strive to do God's will out of His love for us and our love towards Him. This should be our motivating attitude. We love God because He first loved us. He demonstrates His love for us in this: "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) We should always respond to God's love by keeping His commandments, by doing His will. His death and resurrection motivate us to present ourselves to Him in a life of humble service, not expecting honor and praise, or pats on the back for ourselves; for all honor, glory and praise are due Him only. But we live a Christ-pleasing life because we love the Lord Jesus, who loved us so much to go to the cross for us. May it be Christ's love that motivates us in all we do, think, and say! And may we remember always to give all the glory to Him for working through us.......... our rewards will come when we meet Him. Now, let us reward Him while we're here on earth.......... for all that we are, all that we do, is for the glory of God and not for the glory of oneself. May we live for our Lord out of love for Him always. --Jimmy's Safe Harbor
