Started
off as a way to communicate with family and friends while i was
away on mission. turned into an outlet for my thoughts, web design,
and personal desire to combat negative media. but above all, my
motive is Jesus...hence the name. :)
jesus
motive
taken
from one of my favorite books, The Imitation of Christ,
this excerpt describes how in all actions, all thoughts and all
things there has to be a motive. and that motive should be Jesus.
if only i lived all things in my life for the motive of bringing
myself & others to Jesus, imagine how beautiful it could be!
in every little thing, ask yourself, "Why am i doing it?"
If in the end that answer points to Jesus, you will see that you...will
be truly satisfied...and that God will reveal and allow
you to see true beauty in your life. conform all your desires
to the Lord's and He promises to grant you that.
"You
must conform all your desires to My good pleasure and stop loving
yourself, and earnestly desire that My will be done. You frequently
burn with desires that powerfully impel you to action, but what
is the motive behind your actions? Is it My honor or is it your
own self interest? If I be the motive, then you will be satisfied
with whatever I decide for you; but if it be your own self interest,
then this is what puts the brake to your progress and slows you
down." -- from The Imitation of Christ: Thomas a Kempis
