• Some serve Him out of Discipline -- This attitude says, “I have to do it.”
• Some serve Him out of Duty -- This attitude says, “I ought to do it. I owe it to Him.”
• Others serve Him out of Devotion -- This attitude says, “I want to serve Him.”
Those who want to serve the Lord, serve because they are captured by His abundant love and amazing grace. I suppose I've served each way over the years, but I've found peace, joy, blessings and a bit of Heaven here on earth when I serve with devotion.
Ephesians 6:6-7 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
This is the way our service ought to be. We serve Him because we love Him.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
