Motivation

"Love is the strongest motivator to please, to do good." That statement was made in a class I recently attended at DTS. We were going through the epistles of Paul. I do not remember what epistle we were studying at the time, but this phase really hit me. Motivation by any other means just does not work. Fear only motivates because of self-preservation. Wealth motivates for a short time, but gets bored, or always asks for more, never being satisfied. But love is the truest, strongest motivator to please. Out of a grateful heart comes commitment and the willingness to serve. Response to love is love.
