A lady shared an interesting story with me, she was 89 years old. She told the story of this young preacher boy in revival. The young man was dynamic in his delivery of Gods Word. But what she noticed more was the young man, he lived what he preached. On the third night of revival the young man asked this question: "How do you love God?" The young man then presented three points: 1) with all your heart, 2) with all your soul, 3) with all your mind. The young man ended the massage with this statement, "if you want to love God with your all, stand with great conviction." The lady immediately stood up, prompting the young preacher boy to ponder why, shes the most godly woman here he replied. The young man ask her why she stood so quickly, she replied: "I didn't realize God could use this old body anymore, I stood up quickly because this body doesn't have much time left." We don't need a new and improved stimulus for motivation, we need a new view on the motivation of life. Simple self improvement is narrow and temporal, we will become like the things we think about. We grow like we think, and when the inner life grows strong and healthy, it will shape the outward conduct of character of the body. Every thought drives an action, every action prompts a thought. The eye is a door into the mind, what you see, your mind records and stores. Maybe its time for a new view on how you love God, most believe they do but are unwilling to get to where they will. This new view develops a conviction of loving God, with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. Regardless of how tough it gets, the new view of life stands up quickly and declares, inner beauty is revealed by removing the unwanted parts. What view do you have in loving God? New view is a lifestyle desired and pursued daily under the convictions of truth from Gods Word, not the word of the world. Get rid of the unwanted parts
