Work in Christ’s vineyard, gifts to missions, charities dispensed to the poor, money given to good causes, ministries among the sick and the needy — these things please Christ only when there is in them all love for him, when they are done truly for him, in his name. We need to look honestly into our hearts while we crowd our days with Christian activity, to know what the spirit is which prompts it all. “Lovest thou me?” is the Master’s question as each piece of service is rendered, as each piece of work is done. There is no other true motive.
