There are people who likes to insist in their Rights, yet when it comes to their responsibilities, they don't really care. And although I do not see myself as one of those people... is that really true?
And then there are people who simply wants to take and take and take, and get everything out of a church, yet they themselves do not wish to give back to the church, for whatever reason.
And yet there are those who do serve and perform their responsibilities, with a sense of bitterness and/or out of selfish motives/reasons, to feel self-righteous, and/or to be able to boast.
I think Christ emphasized on the condition of our hearts, and this was a point Jesus brought up over and over again; what is in your heart? what is the true motive? are you doing it to truly serve the Lord and to serve the people? Or are you doing it out of your own motives/reasons?
Sure, we can say that at least, the job got done, and we were able to do whatever was needed, but like Paul said, without love, without the right reason, it was all meaningless...
So I must watch my heart, my motives, the reason for doing whatever I do, and I hope that as I continue to align my hearts with the heart of God, that my actions will automatically be aligned according to His will, and that whatever I do, will be for the right reasons.
I kind of ended up on a tangent from the main topic of today's passage, but for me, I would like to watch the condition of my heart, when I am fulfilling my responsibilities.
