Love Is Not A Project

A friend of mine posted something really good this morning, and again I had to change the way I think. In her post she said that when we go out and heal people we need to check our motives. At first I thought "Well it's to get people healed!", she continued to say that people can tell if your motives are pure.  People don't want to feel like a project.

If we walk around healing people just to get a story, or boost our confidence then we missed it. Our main motive should be love. We heal people because God loves, and since God loves then we should love. If we don't, all the healing's and miracles we do will be pointless (1 Cor. 13).

So today I'm searching my heart. I want everything I do to be real, pure love. Just like God! Father today help me to change the way I think! I want to love people into Your arms!

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, 

I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, 

but I don’t love, I’m nothing.

 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. -1 Cor. 13:1-7
