Check your motives

Tonight, I got some good advice after sharing a difficult situation with my friend Daniel Clark. The more I think about it, the simplicity of his advice makes me feel like I shouldn't have to ask for it.

He told me to pray to God that I would only do something if it was really FOR GOD and NOT for myself.

If it is for God, then it is the noble and right thing to do. If it for myself, it will no doubt fail.

And while this does little to balm the open wounds I am cradling even now as I write, it gives me a path by which to move forward.
