I have noticed that I am proud of some things that I do and would rather not have other people notice other things that I do. What makes the difference? Many factors could impact how I feel about my actions, but my motives seem to impact me the most.
John 3:21 says, “But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” When our motives are pure and our hearts are right before God, then our actions will clearly demonstrate that they are from God.
