Doing It For The LORD: The Right Motives (Chinese/English)

Proverbs 212 Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs and examines the hearts.

箴言 21:2人所行的，在自己眼中都看为正，惟有耶和华衡量人心。

Right Motives

正确的动机

All of us love to do things for God, and we don’t mind receiving praise for it. Amen!  My former Pastor Mark said that we live for an audience of One-we do things for God and God alone.  God not only watches what we do, He also observes why we do it.  Which raises the following question:  Are our motives pure in serving God?

我们都喜欢为神做事，我们也不在乎是否为此获得赞美…阿们！我之前的牧师马克说，我们活着只为一个观众…我们为了神也唯独为了神做一切事。神不仅观看我们做了什么，他还在观察我们为什么这么做。这就提出了以下问题：我们的目的是纯粹为了服侍神吗？

The Lord is more concerned about our motives than the actions we engage in.  We may be able to fool man, but we can never fool God.  He knows our hearts, our motives, and our thoughts.  So, when you decide to do anything for the Lord, make sure that it is out of love for Him and concern for your fellow man.

神更关注我们做事的动机而不是行为。我们也许会瞒住人，但无法瞒住神。他了解我们内心，我们的动机以及思想。所以，当你决定为神做事的时候，确保是出于对他的爱以及关心自己的同工。

God bless you
