Great post from Jody Early on WHY we serve God. I find myself fighting this inner battle more as I get older which probably means I did ALOT of things for the wrong reasons in the past. Thank God for GRACE and for PROCESS!
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
God is more concerned about WHY we do something than WHAT we are…
We cannot experience the abundance of living IN Christ without first coming to end of ourselves. Chambers is SO right when he says, “It will not happen by STRIVING, but by YEILDING…” I have spent too many days striving in this life. Striving to be noticed, striving to be good, striving to be somehow deserving of grace, striving to take hold of God’s things…… O Lord, help me to yeild…..
