Serving from the heart

Dear Heavenly Father,
I want to please and serve You. O Lord Jesus, thank You for the Bible. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Bible say to "serve the Lord with ALL your heart." God wants you to serve Him passionately, NOT dutifully.

In book of Deuteronomy, chapter 11, verse 13.
And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

How do you know when you're serving God from your heart?

First sign is ENTHUSIASM. No one has to motivate or challenge, or check up on you. You do it for the sheer enjoyment.
You don't need rewards, or applause or to be paid, because you love serving Him.

Second sign is EFFECTIVENESS. You do what God wired you to love to do, you get good at it. Passion
drives perfection.

When you don't have a heart for what you are doing, you're EASILY discouraged. Don't waste your life in a job that doesn't express your heart.

BE CONFIDENT that God will supply all you need to follow Him fully. Understand that life in Christ is a life of faith. God will show His goodness and greatness.

Figure out what you love to do that which God gave you a heart for and then DO IT for His glory.

"Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure with trouble."
(Proverbs 15:16)
