HAVING HERE OR TAKE AWAY?

TWENTYEIGHTHmarchtwoohohseven

this morning the Holy Spirit led me toooo..
" If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work shall be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. " - 1 Chorinthians 3:12-13

*ding ding ding!
i have learnt something more of God!
our Lord desires quality!

using this Scripture, he spoke to me that:
it is not just the OBEDIENCE to building that counts, the QUALITY put into it matters, too!

are we just going thru the motion?
just putting half the effort to get it done?
"aiya.. pastor say build, so i build lor..! but i use straw nvm one la.. no need so hiong use gold.."

WHAT nevermind?
God minds.
we need to wake up our idea!
if what we build is burned up on the Day of judgement, "he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames."

the Lord prompted me to check my heart:
am i doing his work in the right frame of mind?
am i grumbling about it? "haiyah do this again.. sian.."
do i regard his work with dread? "oh no, tmr is duno-what-duno-what day.."
do i ask myself "why am i doing this???"
am i coming to a point where i serve because i'm obligated to?
or do i really want to?
have i lost the fire? the passion?
is my heart right?
is what i'm putting in genuineEFFORT or the bareMINIMUM?

upon reflecting on the previous stuffs i did,
i found that sometimes i fall so easily into the "Eh At Least I Did It" mindset.
do some of us have the same mentality?

let us yearn for the right HEART.
call upon God for an impartation of his heartbeat. his compassion. his desires. his will.
let us not just be DOers but DoersWithTheRightHearters.
let us build with GOLD, SILVER, and COSTLY STONES.
because God is WORTHY.

APPLEYKAYSHEARN: i will give thanks and rejoice over every opportunity to serve. because God is concerned over my BEING not DOING. and because rich will be my treasure in heaven. shenyang here i come! i believe much is in store for me there!
