Motives

Have you ever done something because if you did not someone would make you feel guilty? Of course you have, we all have. But what a rotten feeling that is, feeling guilty! Especially when you are not! I once heard a person say, "Don't take a bullet not meant for you". In other words don't feel guilty about something that you are NOT responsible for. But why do we make people we care about feel guilty. Is it because someone has done it to us? And so we think it's our duty to do the same? The Bible is quite clear how we are to live out our faith in this world. That all we do or is to be done with the right motive. For the buliding up of the Church and it's people. Our motives are to be pure and Godlike. But when we operate out of guilt we not only do not do the best job that we can, but we do it with a stinky attitude as well. And believe me that will come through in the way you carry out the task. Every day a lot of bullets get shot your way in an attempt to make you feel rotten if you do not carry out that task that someone else thinks you should do. Many of us then carry out that task not wanting to feel guilty by not doing it. I feel as if I am rambling now, forgive me, I don't want to feel guilty! Please know this, Satan is the giver of guilt, Chirst the one that took all of that guilt upon Himself so that you and I could lead victorious and not guilt ridden lives!
