What Is Our Motivation? Why We Do What We Do.

I was recently having hopeless thoughts about doing the Lord’s work. Sometimes you pray for healing and nothing seems to happen. Sometimes someone does get healed or a miracle happens, yet the person isn’t very excited or interested in Jesus. You tell them of the great news of Father’s love and grace, how he his everything they have been searching for, yet they are indifferent and don’t really care.

The work seems too big. There are too many people, and not many seem interested. So why keep going if I don’t seem to be making a difference?

Then I felt Jesus speaking to me, “Why are you doing this? Are you doing this because you are trying to make a difference, or are you doing this because you love me and it’s what I have asked you to do?”
“As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:7-8

Forgive me, Jesus, for making it about me again. It’s all about you and your kingdom. I will continue to obey because I love you and this is what you have asked of us. You are the Lord of the harvest.
