And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
I Corinthians 13:3 NKJV
These are such self-sacrificing acts: giving everything away and even giving my life. What could possibly motivate this kind of action other than love?
No other motivator makes sense. A profit motive doesn’t make sense. Either does success, fame or manipulation - because you’re dead.
Love will empower me in selfless ways like nothing else will. Love is the only motivator that could have sent Jesus to the cross.
Check my motives. Am I motivated by love?
Jesus, Your love is stronger than any force on earth. Thank You for dying for me. Motivate me. Amen.
