motive

1 Thessalonians 2: 4b Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.

It's all about motive, isn't it?

Over & over again, the Bible stresses it's not about what we do, but why we do it.

Why is that?

B/c, bottom line, the condition of our heart is the most important thing to God. If your heart is in the right place, everything else will follow accordingly. Iow, if we think like God thinks & be like God is, all the other stuff in our life will take care of itself.

It's amazing how if I do that, the other stuff in my life takes care of itself.

And if I don't...

Well, never mind...
