God's will

When we serve, are we following GOD's will and guidance or it's simply based on our own planning and preferences? Do we serve for our own satisfaction or for the interests of GOD? GOD treasures our heart rather than how much we contribute and give; Services having reason behind are not the true serving and GOD will not be pleased with what we've done. If we only choose for those service that we want or like to serve, that's not following GOD's will but we become the one in charge. To be the humble and obedient servant of GOD, we should seek for HIS will which HE will reveal to us. Next time when u seek for the direction of your service, seek for HIS will first.


Matthew 7:15-23 (NRSV)
[Jesus said,] "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.'"
