Sometimes people do things because it meets a need in their own lives.
Sometimes people do things because it meets someone else’s need.
Sometimes people do things because God has called them to do it and their sole desire is to please Him.
People in the first group, often develop a sense of entitlement and make others who work with them miserable. People in the second group, although they are much more pleasant to work with than people in the first group, grow weary and give up. Sign me up to work with those in the third group. I want to surround myself with those whose passion and strength comes from God.
It’s time to examine your motivation. If you’re frequently angry and complaining (a result of being in the first group) or if you are exhausted and not getting things done (a result of being in the second group), STOP! Only continue your work if you can get on the same page with God.
