And when we walk with Jesus, remain in Him and He in us, we naturally move from motivation to inspiration. Our actions turn from doing to being. Obedience becomes much more a loving expression, a result or fruit, than a disiplined duty. Inspiration is the redeemed heart, the redeemed you, expressing thankfulness and love... obedience. A sharp tool, in the hand of a master craftman, that works for even just a moment, is of far greater value than a dull tool in that hand of a child working constantly. May we remain in The Master's hand, working only when He picks us up and inspires us to do so. Yes!
