What are your motives?

I was reading recently about what our motives should be as Christians in our service to God. An example of the wrong motive can be found in Matthew 6:5 where Jesus was pointing out that the hypocritical Pharisees were praying “so that they may be seen by men”. Isn’t it interesting that it doesn’t say that they prayed to be heard by men? Obviously the content of their prayer was not as important to them as their appearance was. If you are a Christian, do you have the right motives in your service? You may need to ask yourself if it ever bothers you when no one notices your work or when someone else receives the credit. Our motive should be to advance the kingdom of God and for His glory alone and not ours.
