My Motivation
To get where I’m going, I need to know what is it, exactly, that I want. I must ask:
- What do I want to be?
- What do I want to do?
- What do I want to have?
- Why do I want it?
I can’t be asking God for anything and everything. Even though God knows what I need or want, He wants to know if I know what I want. I need to keep my motivation in check. God will provide the way.
I want to be a father who can provide for my family for the next 30 years to come, until I retire. I want to provide wise advice in terms of finance, education, and life experiences. I want to have an abundant life, so I may share with or help others. I want all of this so I can be a good example to other people what a Christ-centered family look like.
The reward is in heaven (Luke 6:23). This world is a temporary. My reward here is nothing compared what’s waiting for me in heaven. I must keep my eye on the heavenly prize.
