According to the worlds standards, everything that we put effort or work toward is for the outcome of payment. Today I'm sitting here thinking about the efforts that we put toward kingdom purpose. Why do we labor? Is it for money payment? Is it for the outcome of seeing our churches grow? I feel like my heart is free of motive. I serve to see people added to the kingdom of God not for money however, in doing a self evaluation I heard the Spirit say, "Would you labor if there were no outcome? Would you labor if all that you strived for was because of your great love for me?" I know that the Lord wants people added to the kingdom but in saying that, I believe that He wants us to get back to the organic state of our first love. It's in giving our lives from the place of love that laboring for him no longer wears you down. It's in that place that you can give love and receive love to the point that you no longer exist.... It's Christ in the world completing all that He set out to do through you as a vessel. Keeping ourselves in the organic state of love, everything naturally falls into place.
