Motives and Attitudes

Motives and Attitudes

Motive is the goal or direction of the mind.

Attitude is the position of the heart.

If Motive is 'Where you are going' 

then Attitude is 'How you are getting there'.

Both are equally important.

If the Motive is Truth,

 the Attitude should be Love.

If the Motive is to soar to spiritual heights,

 the Attitude should be to serve with Humility.

If the Motive is to gain Authority,

the Attitude should be to gain Understanding.

If the Motive is to Save your Life,

the Attitude has to be to Surrender your Life to CHRIST.

 When He had called the people to Himself, 

with His disciples also,

 JESUS said to them,

 "Whoever desires to come after Me,

 let him deny himself,

 and take up his cross,

 and follow Me.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,

 but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world,

 and loses his own soul?

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words

 in this adulterous and sinful generation,

 of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed

 when He comes in the glory of His Father

 with the holy angels." 

Mark 8:34-38
