"...your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Thessalonians 1:3
One thing God has been showing me is the importance of the heart, the work we do is produced by faith in God. Meaning the initial step in faith in Gods plan for us. The second step is Love, the labor we do to be meaningful and worthwhile must be prompted by a love for others. The third step is hope, hope gives us the endurance to keep love and faith. We must have hope to inspire us to continue to work out of our hearts. The hope that God will take our love and labor and work and turn into something far beyond our capabilities, far beyond our power.
" All Behaviors are linked to a particular attitude of the heart." for us to serve effectively we need to have a right heart, a good heart creates a good attitude. A good attitude allows us to be willing and open to make the most of every experience we are given.
God help us to put our heart in the right place serving you with vigor absent of fear, rejection. empower us to resist the Devil and his ways of discouragement, Empower us to we might accomplish more than ever thought possible, for your glory not ours.
-in Jesus name, Amen
