Motivated By Love Ministries

From My Heart to Yours

Sincerity and truth are extremely valuable because they are so rare. Many people are deceivers, liars, flatterers; they think they will get what they want by deception. As a king, David certainly faced his share of such people, who hoped to win his favor and gain advancement through flattery. When we feel as though sincerity and truth have nearly gone out of existence, we have one hope - the word of God. God's words are as flawless as refined silver. So listen carefully when He speaks.

In Genesis 27:11-13, Jacob hesitated when he heard Rebekah's deceitful plan. Although he questioned it for the wrong reason (fear of getting caught), he protested and thus gave her one last chance to reconsider. But Rebekah had become so wrapped up in her plan that she no longer saw clearly what she was doing. Sin had trapped her and was degrading her character. Correcting yourself in the middle of doing wrong may bring hurt and disappointment, but it will also bring freedom from sin's control.

How we react to a moral dilemma often exposes our real motives. Frequently we are more worried about getting caught than about doing what is right. If you are worried about getting caught, you are probably in a position that is less than honest. Let your fear of getting caught be a warning to do right. Learn from Jacob's mistake - he paid a huge price for carrying out this dishonest plan.

Learn how to hear from God for yourself through His word, prayer, and anointed people who hear from God. When you seek God and His word for yourself, you will find that when you hear the word of God from others, it will be a confirmation letter, not a news flash. In this ministry we strive to bring you the truth of God's word and His love. Motivated By Love Ministries is here to bring sincerity and truth to God's people. If we can pray for you, with you, or be of assistance in your spiritual growth, please let us know. We'd also like to hear praise reports of how this ministry has touched and changed your life. We pray that you will be blessed, encouraged, edified, and continually turning toward a holy, just and loving God. May He bless you as you seek Him, His face, and His truth.

Building His Kingdom,
