I believe in my heart that what really matters is the condition of one’s heart more than someone’s output.
Accomplishing a task coupled with love is much more given regard than a task with a divided heart. Whether we confess it or not, we have experienced situations when we were not absolutely convinced to approach a task – it could either be a personal one or assigned by someone around us. We were in the state when all we consider is to do it for the purpose of completing it.
How pity it is to imagine we allowed ourselves to act like robots by choice. This is for real. A robot does things without love, without a sense of value to the work or even the one who requested or commanded. On the other hand, how delightful it is to do things with one’s heart and commitment.
In 1 Corinthian 16:4, it is stated that “Do everything in love.”. This is an imperative sentence – a command. We are commanded by God to carry out things in love. I want to quote what Joyce Meyer once said, “Do everything with God and for God.” The more we remind ourselves about this truth, more love is instilled into our hearts.
I bet you would agree with me that it is definitely impossible to do everything with God and for God disregarding love. Why do I say so? God is love, so love will completely conquer us and can’t help but to live in it.

May this powerful statement of truth speak into our hearts deep down. “Do everything in love.”
I speak to myself more than speaking to you. _
