Proper Motivation

1 Thessalonians 2


4 For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.


I LOVE Paul’s attitude here. He knows that it is not his purpose to please men, but it is his purpose to please God. That is the way I want to live my life. My desire is to please God with all I do, with all I say, with all I am. May my heart be examined by the Creator of everything and may I be found to be motivated only by a desire to please You, O Lord.
