Doing NOT JUST for the Sake of Doing

I do not really want to wash clothes right now. I think I have a lot of things to do (yet here I am! Typing again!)

But it was my DAD who asked me to.......

Hmmm.............

Okay :)

 I have assignments to do...
People to meet...
Tasks to accomplish...
Time to CONSERVE!!!!!

But why did I agree to wash clothes HIS clothes, which someone else may and can do?

Simple :)

I LOVE the one who asked me to :) I love my Dad :)

I followed my Dad. I took the clothes and put them inside the washing machine. (The washing machine does the washing, but later on I'll be the one rinsing the clothes. I'll still be doing something.)

Why?

So others could see and praise me?
My housemates do not really care. They won't praise me.

So I could feel proud of myself?
So my Dad will be indebt to me, so I could ask him for a thing I want?

No! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!!

I did it, because I love my Dad.

Nothing else.
Whether he gives me anything in exchange of this task or not, it does NOT matter :)
I am glad to this for him,
because doing this pleases me because it pleases him :)

Same thing with God :)

Our relationship with Jesus is the same.

Ask yourself, why do you do the "Christian" things that you do?
Why do you "act like a Christian"?

What is your motive?

May it be BECAUE YOU LOVE YOUR DAD, your God :)
