INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION

Inspiration and motivation are two human experiences serving as a basis for satifying desires and making sure that personal goals are crowned with success. Without them, success is difficult if not impossible.

Looking for and working toward goals usually has two parties in mind, the one who is inspired and motivated, or some other, a second party who can reap the results. There is nothing wrong with setting goals and seeking success for oneself, but there is a SUPERIOR WAY to operate in life. Rather than being self-centered and self-seeking, to have someone else in view as the recipient is that SUPERIOR WAY.

Along with multitudes of other people, I have learned that unlimited and total satisfaction has come to me over and over again, as expressed by a 2,000 year old ancient text: "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." With that phrase as a motto, the Creator of the universe is pleased also. The man who penned those words was probably one of the most successul of all who have ever lived and has been responsible for benefitting the lives of countless individuals. In fact, during his lifetime, entire cities and regions were transformed.

You may say, "I do not know much about the Lord Jesus Christ." "Why should I be concerned about Him?" That is my point! Grab a Holy Bible; read the Gospel of St. John and I would be surprised it you did not continue to read the Scriptures on a regular basis. You can find the quotation in the previous paragraph in Colossians, chapter 3, verse 17.
