A few days ago I started talking about “compelling reasons” and motives. Why do we do what do? Why do we want what we want?
I wish I could say I’m so holy that all of my motives are completely pure and innocent.
🙂
Here’s the truth, I struggled with my motives for YEARSSSSSSSS!
I wanted things because… well… I wanted things.
It was never about being a blessing or an inspiration to someone else. It was all about ME!
Well folks, that doesn’t work. In fact, it was a really lonely existence.
I love the scripture in John 15:7 which helped me understand that God’s words must abide in me so when I ask for something, I’m in line with what He wants for me.
God’s word began to shape me from the inside out, so my motives slowly began to change.
Ahhhh… It’s such a peaceful place to be.
Thanks for taking the journey with me…. only 330 more days to go.
I love you and I’m praying for you.
