Now Jesus Called His Disciples

To Himself And Said,



"I Have Compassion On The

Multitude."

Matthew 15:32



In A Recent Telethon One Stand-Up

Comic After Another Joined A Big Show

For A Relief Project.



One Line From The Show Stood Out.

"Help Those In Need," The Announcer

Said, "And Feel Good About Yourself."

The Motivating Factor Behind Helping

Those Facing Famine Was Selfish.



This Pricks Our Conscience.

Do We Do Good For Others In Order To

Feel Holy, To Feel Important, To Feel In

Control?



Jesus Loves Sacrificially. He Commands

Us To Love As He Does. Love Requires Us

To Do Good For Others.

Is Out Motivation Selfless Or Selfish?



If It Is Selfish, There Is A Good Chance That

Our Good Deeds WIll Be Shallow And, More

Importantly, Will Not Last.



Lord, Make Us Like You. Cause Our Love To

Be Lasting In Its Effect. Posted By: Judith A. Birt
