motives of the heart

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brothers and sisters: Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now it is of course required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. It does not concern me in the least that I be judged by you or any human tribunal; I do not even pass judgment on myself; I am not conscious of anything against me, but I do not thereby stand acquitted; the one who judges me is the Lord.

Therefore, do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of our hearts, and then everyone will receive praise from God.

Corinthians 4: 1-5

When a flashlight grows dim or stops working, you don’t throw it away, you change the batteries. When a person is broken and finds themselves in a dark place, do you cast them aside? Of course not, you help them change their batteries! Some need AA…attention and affection. Some need AAA…attention, affection, and acceptance. Some need C…compassion. Some need D…direction. And if they still don’t seem to shine…simply sit with them quietly and share your light.
