Check your motivation


S - Scripture     
Matthew    6 v. 1  Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.      

O - Observation     
This is Jesus's direct comments to the Holy Rollers. Those who show everyone how great a Christian they are.
Not only does this sort of behavior get No Love from Jesus, but it also can turn other people off. Which is exactly opposite of what God wants. God wants a relationship not a religion. 1 Samuel 16 v7b. For the Lord looks not as a man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord look on the Heart.  

A - Application 
What are my motivations when I do acts of service for God? Are they pure or self driven?  

P - Prayer   
Jesus, Help me to keep my acts of service just that. Acts of Service for you. Love Will
